Good Afternoon Students and Parents,
We have been learning about creating a "T" table to
identify a pattern and how to write a rule for a series of numbers this week
(i.e 2, 6, 18 Pattern Rule: Start at 2 and multiply by 3 each time).
We also learned how variables are used in algebra and how they substitute for a
number (i.e n + 5 = 8, so n = 3). We will be having a small quiz next
Thursday to check the students understanding of these concepts.
To kick off our unit on Local Government the students have been
drawing their own city maps in groups of 3 or 4. Each city needs to be
aware of residential, commercial and industrial land use, and must also include
essential buildings and services including schools, hospitals, public
transportation, recycling/ compost facilities, etc. Next week we will be
looking at city bylaws and how property taxes are collected and used to fund
city services.
In Science, we will be looking at our Trees and Forest unit. See our
website for all of the unit outcomes and the study guide.
We are welcoming Ms. Dykema, a student-teacher from Ambrose University to our classroom. She will be in our classroom until the end of September, then returning for 6 weeks at the beginning of January.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Reeve
