Mr. Grainger
|| * Here are some learning elements to work on this weekend: See you on Tuesday! ||
 * Read to end of chapter 20 in "Among the Hidden" for Wednesday, Feb. 20
 * Also as mentioned yesterday, please finish your cinquain poem this weekend, and also please complete a journal entry reflecting about your family's cultural heritage. As we're learning, Canada has always been made up of people from all over the world, and it will be interesting to talk about where all of us in class come from.

Mrs. Kidd
|| * Today we practiced reducing fractions using factor trees.
 * In science we learned about force, force diagrams, how to measure force and how the effect the force has on an object depends on magnitude, location and direction. We also learned about mass, weight and the force of gravity. ||
 * = 7K = || === Humanities ===

Mr. Bowman
|| * Pick a Heritage Fair Topic and start research ||
 * || === Math/Science ===

Mrs. Kidd
|| *** Today we practiced adding and subtracting fractions with common denominators.
 * In science we completed a virtual lab as we learned about about external forces on structures. Our other virtual lab taught us about strong shapes. In class we built a human buttress to demonstrate how arches can be strengthen. We also learned about the center of gravity/center of mass. ||
