Un grand morceau de gâteau!

Hello! Happy Tuesday!

Today in Math we tackled a delicious problem that required us to use the concept of factors (les facteurs) and the gcf (pgcf).

Please ask me about the problem and how we figured out the solution! :)

AGENDA

1. Poppies will be distributed tomorrow (Wednesday) morning in class prior to our virtual Remembrance Day ceremony. Money donations for poppies are gratefully accepted.

2. Math - Page 3 of our 'les facteurs' booklet will be corrected in class tomorrow (Wednesday). 

Page 4 is due Friday. (No additional class time will be given prior to).

3. Science - We will begin graphing in class tomorrow. A ruler and a pencil are required!

4. Volleyball intramurals tomorrow at lunch!

Science demo Monday!

Happy Monday!

Today in Science we did a lab demo to see is salted water boils faster than "normal" (unsalted) water. We are using this demo to solidify our understanding of independent and dependent variables, as well as an introduction to graphing.

The results of the first test showed that salted water boiled first, but Mme Careen was not convinced, so she performed the experiment again over the lunch hour (with a few small tweaks to the equipment set up) and found the opposite results!

So, tomorrow in class, the experiment will once again be repeated so that we can compare results from all three tests to determine the answer to the 'age old' question: does adding salt to water really help it to boil faster? 🤔

(And don't be afraid to try this at home! This can easily be reproduced using two same-sized pots, filled with the same quantity of water, being heated up at the same heat level on the stove. We used thermometers and a stop watch in class, but, the boiling point can easily be seen by observation and the time can be controlled with a timer app on a device. Have fun experimenting!)

Happy Diwali!

 Hello families! Happy Thursday! Happy Diwali!

Today in class, we shared our group resumes and completed a set of comprehension questions from the short story we've been studying, Suresh le garçon qui venait de loin. Coincidentally, the story is about a boy who moved to Canada from India and is able to share about the celebration of Diwali with his classmates.

Please ask me about the story and about the new words I added to my français vocabulary as a result of reading and studying this story!

Hello learning friends!

Today in Math, we worked in randomized groups of 2 or 3 to solve a word problem about Aisha's reading plans at her cabin. Please ask me about my group's strategy - how did we calculate the reading times and figure out when Aisha would be done reading her books?

Looking forward to a great week! :)
