Our Fall
Fundraiser Assembly took place at the end of the day. Quite a few unlucky
teachers were chosen to be pied! The students loved this. Thanks to everyone
for their fundraising efforts. Earlier
in the day, after all our work was done, students had their hour of electronics
time.
We watched one
final video that might help us generate ideas about building an electric car.
Students were required to complete their final thumbnail sketch during this time.
Students are asked to decide which one of their thumbnail sketches they will
proceed with. They should discuss their ideas with family members, listen to
suggestions and advice before deciding which one they will build.
Students
learned how wind, coal, uranium, and water is used to generate electricity at stations.
To understand these complex processes, students began by reading about each
kind of generating station in their OPG Guide. Once they completed the reading,
the received scrambled flow charts that represented the process and energy
transformations at each station. Students used their understandings to
unscramble the flow charts.
Once they had done this they were required to
explain the process and record the correct flow chart in their notes. Student’s
mind maps were marked today. Most mind maps could use a lot more information
and detail. Please check the feedback on mind maps that are coming home today.
Once the missing information and detail is added, students should consider how
to use the mind map as a study tool for Wednesday’s test. Students are to
complete their Electric Timelines for Monday.
Students
attended French and math classes today. In math, Ms. Joseph discussed the math
that was assigned yesterday. She also discussed the different criteria which will
be used to assess students on the math test. Today’s class focused on factors,
multiples, LCM, GCF, long division and multiplication and exponents. They
practiced a couple of word problems as well. Students are to complete the
review package they received in class today as homework. This will be taken up
on Monday. The math unit test is postponed to Tuesday, October 1st.
There has
been a change in the bake sale dates. The bake sale has been moved to October 1st
and 2nd. Our class is responsible for the bake sale that takes place
on these days. Students are asked to contribute bake sale items. These MUST be
PEANUT and NUT FREE. Thank you.
Monday is Orange
Shirt Day.
