In order to get a sense of where the Renaissance occurred, students worked on some mapping skills of Europe. Students will have some time to work on the maps tomorrow in class and these maps will be for homework after that. 

September 24th - Science/Math

Today we continued our discussion of solutes, solvents, solutions and the meaning of saturated and unsaturated.  We conducted a lab experiment comparing the solubility of sugar and salt and calculating the concentration of the solutions that we mixed.

Tomorrow, we will analyze the class results and complete the analysis questions.
No math homework.

Sept 23 - Humanities

Today we finished our discussions about Terry Fox and created 'wordles' using words that best describe him.  Fall Field Day will be this Friday and we will be participating in the annual Terry Fox school run.

As well, we continued to build some background knowledge about the Renaissance.  Students will be working on some mapping skills over the next couple of days to build an understanding of where the Renaissance occurred.

On another note, students received their school photos and ID cards today.  Orders may be made up until Sept. 30.

Tuesday, September 23 - Math

Today we assessed our Multiplying Integers Quiz and continued our work on representing division of integers in different ways.

Questions for homework page 304, #3-6 and page 310 #5-7, 9,10.

Monday, Sept. 22 - Humanities

Today we continued to discuss worldview.  We completed a 'check-in', where students were asked to communicate their current understanding of worldview.  From this point, we will be moving on to learn more about the Renaissance.  The major outcome for this unit of study is to demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of how the exchange of ideas and knowledge during the time of the Renaissance contributed to shaping the worldview of the Western world.

As an aside, we also spent some time discussing Tery Fox to prepare for our Fall Field Day this Friday. 
 

Sept. 17th - Humanities

Today we watched a clip of the film 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' and connected the information to our work around world view.  We discussed how worldview is not static and can change due to contact with new information, objects or people.  Students were asked to record information from the film in a chart. 

Homework: Please make sure you have the chart completed for tomorrow.

Tues.Sept. 16th - Humanities

Today we finished filling in our Worldview Elements chart (can be found in D2L content section). After, students created a wheel in their visual journals and sectioned the wheel into 7 areas. Each section represents one element of worldview...
HOMEWORK - Each section of the wheel needs a hand drawn symbol to represent each element for tomorrow.
