-Monday: Math Quiz (multiplication and division)

-study notes will be posted for all of the above. Students will be allowed to use the provided study notes plus any additional notes to create your own study guide for science, contained to one page! We discussed as a class including key information on which students are unsure. Students will be allowed to use their personal study guide during the test.
-students are responsible for completing their own study notes to use for the test

I will be emailing the science study guide to parents, as there are diagrams included in the guide which will not transfer to blogger. 

We reviewed the science test so that students know what to expect, and emphasized using vocabulary when responding to questions, and justifying their answers using their reasoning!

Class Learning
In social studies, we have been busy researching and putting together presentations on different groups in Canada's history, such as the North West Mounted Police, non-European immigrant groups, the Metis, etc.

Students researched as a group, and then created their own individual presentation on their assigned topic

Tomorrow, students will split up and form new groups. They will become the teachers on the topic, teaching the others about their assigned group using their presentation.

At home, discuss with your parents your assigned group. Explain what you have learned, and tell them about your presentation. Discuss the impact of your group on Canada.
