Geometry Quiz Outline

Students, this is a friendly reminder that you will have a Geometry Quiz on Tuesday, May 24. 

Grade 4's, you need to be prepared to:
  • Identify similar and congruent shapes
  • Identify lines of symmetry
  • Draw lines of symmetry
  • Complete the other half of symmetrical shapes
Grade 5's, you need to be prepared to: 
  • Draw and/or label sets of parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines
  • Draw and/or label vertical and horizontal lines
  • Name and/or sort the shapes we have practiced in class according to attributes (ex: square, rectangle, triangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid)
If you are looking for ways to practice, try the activities on Mathletics, or practice creating Venn diagrams at home (like we did in class - click here to view our blog entry).
Here's Hazel's game she suggested in class, Grade 4's: https://www.abcya.com/games/symmetree-symmetry

Summer Solstice

  SS: I can appreciate oral stories and how they teach us about Indigenous People and life lessons Art: I can experiment with different media Oki ! Happy Summer Solstice and National Indigenous Peoples Day! We learned about local Indigenous cultures and their Summer Solstice celebrations today in a few ways.  We started our day by learning about Natoosi (the sun, in Blackfoot) from Elder Saa'kokoto online. We listened to the Chickadee Story from Chantelle (Metis) online and participated in the Summer Solstice song gifted to the CBE by the Metis people.  We also worked on learning how to braid (either a basic 3-strand braid or an advanced 6-strand braid). This relates to the documentary we watched a few months ago called, Braves Wear Braids (click here, if you'd like to watch it at home) .  Yesterday, we also watched a clip from a documentary by Ryan Heavy Head (a knowledge keeper from Lethbridge). This was teaching us about animal behaviour during the Flower Moon p...

Chemical Changes!

Science: I can explore household substances; I can use the scientific method to answer a question: I can design a fair test. In class, we have been learning about Chemistry and Matter. This week, we have been learning about physical and chemical changes. A Chemical Change is when there's a change that creates something new and a Physical Change is when its appearance changes but it's still the same substance.  Five clues that a chemical change has happened are:  Bubbles form  Heat is released Light is produced There is a colour change A smell is produced An example of a Physical Change would be changing States of Matter: An ice cube melting to water Yesterday, we put baking soda in a balloon and mixed it with vinegar to see what would happen. The balloons inflated. It was fun to watch them. When you mix baking soda and vinegar, it creates carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. They expanded because of the increase in carbon dioxide gas. We know the molecules, when they turn int...

Cooperative Games

PE: I can cooperate with others and demonstrate teamwork.  In Gym class these last few weeks, we have been working on Cooperative Games. We did a hula hoop challenge where we had to get our team from one end of the compound and back stepping only inside the hula hoops. We also navigated a "blindfolded" classmate through a course full of pylons by only giving them oral instructions. Then, we worked silently with a team to re-arrange ourselves teetering on the wall behind the school. None of the games were a RACE, they were all challenges. Now, we are creating and leading our own Cooperative Game in groups for the class.  "My favourite thing about this was playing fun things made by awesome people, like llama tag." ~ Iggy "It was very hard to think of a cooperative game. My group took 2-3 days to think of one." ~ Lawrence "I liked making up a game and then getting to play other people's made-up or real games that I didn't know of."~ Hazel ...
