Updates

There will be a short (not covering too much) Math test on Wednesday for B8/9 and on Thursday for B5
- You will need to know how to find the value of a variable in an equation, how to solve an equation when given the value of a variable, how to write an expression/equation when given a sentence, and how to write a sentence to describe an expression/equation

Key Words: Sum, Difference, Quotient, Product, Increase, Decrease, Total

In science, we have just begun working with circuits. Due to the scheduling this week, and my attendance at Professional Development seminars, students will likely have to wait until next week to continue interacting with the materials.

Happy March Break!!

Science Homework:
6B5/8: Review your notes, and try out some Static Electricity experiments (brush your hair with a plastic comb and hold it near a stream of water)

Math Homework:
The most recent Math package (starts with Multiplying by 1000 and 10 000) should be completed by the end of March Break. Most students will be done or may only have the word problems left to do. Students who have been absent will have more to complete.

Math Update:
We will be beginning Algebra in the week after March Break.

EQAO:
Some students have mentioned that their parents have questions about the EQAO tests. We will begin practicing for the tests after March Break, and you can find lots of information on the EQAO website http://www.eqao.com/  .  There is a Parent's information page as well, which is at this link http://www.eqao.com/Parents/Elementary/036/036.aspx?Lang=E&gr=036

I hope everyone has a terrific and safe March Break, and we'll see everyone on March 22!
