Caribou Math Contest:

This message is only for those participating in the Caribou Math Contest. 

The next Caribou contest will be taking place Wednesday, February 26th, 2020. Students are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. They should bring their own charged devices.
The interactive question for Grades 2-10 will be Bomb Defuser and for Grade 11/12 it will be GeomeTree requiring a construction involving lines and circles. Because Caribou’s GeomeTree site can be used to solve the interactive question, this site will be blocked at noon on Tuesday, February 25th. Both interactive questions are accessible from Caribou’s Games/History page.

Unit of Inquiry

Students got into their groups to continue working on their graphic organizers for their summatives. They all discussed the materials they would need to begin building their device and are asked to start bringing these in tomorrow so they can begin building their device. It would be ideal if student's could have their materials brought in by Thursday so they can continue building their device. 

Inquiry into Math

Students completed their decimals math test today! Their fractions test will be coming home tomorrow.

Inquiry into Language

We learned all about peer editing today! As a class we went through a powerpoint to learn the three components of peer editing: compliments, suggestions and corrections.

Compliments: This is where students identify some of the things their peer did well in their writing. These need to be specific to their ideas, sentences and vocabulary used.

Suggestions: This is where students provide some suggestions on how their peers can improve their writing. These are also specific and related to sentence structure and order, vocabulary, ideas and understanding of the task. 

Corrections: This is where students are correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization mistakes. They also remove and add words that to affect the meaning of what the writer is trying to say.

Later on in the day students were given a peer's narrative to begin to edit. We didn't have much time to dive into this, however they will pick up from where they left off first thing in the morning. 

Students had some silent and partner reading time today. They also had a visit to the library with Ms. Hayward.

Agenda:

- Read for 25 minutes

- Spelling Lesson 23 + Sentences

- Bring in Summative supplies tomorrow and the rest of the week
