Probability

Day 8

 We began our day with math. We started a new and final math unit on probability. Today we discussed terms such as conduct an experiment, result, outcome, experimental probability and theoretical probability. Students conducted an experiment with brown paper bags and counters. They recorded their results in T-Charts, and described their results using fractions, decimals (between 0 and 1), percents, and words. Students made predictions based on their results and checked their prediction against the actual counters in the bags. Students are asked to complete the practice problems on p. 410 – 411 of the MMS textbook.

 Students met in their groups to discuss chapter 11 of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Once discussions were complete, students had some class time to reading chapter 12 and work on the discussion questions.  Any incomplete work is due tomorrow (Thursday).

 During UOI time, students learned about the summative project for our ‘Inquiry into My Digital Footprint’ unit. Students were challenged to place themselves in groups of 2 or 3 students. As a group students will be researching an issue of their choice, e.g. cyberbullying, digital literacy, digital ethics, inappropriate content, and online privacy. They were required to find a teacher/grade that they will be presenting their projects to. Their issue may be impacted with the grade or class. Groups are asked to consider appropriate topics for their grades. Finally, groups have to decide on the type of project, e.g., presentation, skit, or activity. This again will be impacted by the grade they have paired up with. We are hoping that all final presentations will take place on Monday, June 12^th. Groups have formed as follows:

 

Students in a Group	Chosen Issue	Type of Project	Teacher & Class
Avneet, Arya, Areej	Inappropriate Content	Presentation & Activity	Ms. Ramnarine, Grade 5
Sofia, Farah, Husmeen	Online Privacy	Presentation & Activity	Ms. Schwarz, Grade 4
Akash, Sai, Jierui	Cyberbullying	Presentation & Activity	Ms. Hocevar, Grade 4
Leah, Kaaya, Alffino	Digital Ethics	Activity	Ms. Hung, Grade 3
Eghosa & Jacob	Digital Ethics	Presentation & Activity	Ms. Ross, Grade 3
Satvik & Ian	Digital Ethics	Presentation & Activity	Ms. Smith, Grade 1
Christina & Melia	Online Privacy	Activity	Ms. Glover, Grade 3
Sakshi & Bibi	Trusted Adult	Skit & Activity	Ms. Gillingham, SK

 Students will need devices daily starting tomorrow as they work on this project. They will also need to bring in any materials needed for their presentation/skit/activity. Students received a package to guide them through this project as well as the rubric that will be used to grade their work and skills.

We continued making progress on our Arts’ Night performance. Today we discussed boys’ costumes. Please talk to your child about their costume. We will need these on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next week.

 The Grade 6s attended French, music, and gym class today.

 A number of students are returning their tree top trekking forms as there are parts that need to be completed. Please return these as soon as possible. Permission and waiver forms for Tree Top Trekking trip are past due.
