Mme Careen had us working hard today in Math trying to 'cheat' the Tax Man out of as much money as he could. Here's the scoop:
Once Mme Careen presented us the question as a full group, we chose a card to determine our teams and headed to the white boards to see what we could come up with.
How much money did we get in the end? Did we beat the Tax Man? Please ask me about it! :)
Next, in Science, Mme Careen explained our Science "Design Process" project.
We have landed on a new planet and have discovered a group of 16 extra-terrestrials that live there! Our task is to design a planet and its inhabitants and then to create a dichotomous key to classify them. We will have three to four classroom periods to work on our project before finishing up at home. The final copy of the project will be due Monday, November 12.
And, now for the sad farewell...
One of our classmates is moving back to Alberta and she popped in this morning to say goodbye... and brought a yummy treat for us to eat, too!
So long, dear friend! Wishing you all the best on your new adventure!
We will miss you! :)

**A special note: I will be away the next two days at the training session for our educational study.
I will be checking my email, but will not be at the school to pass along messages to the students if need be. I am looking forward to learning with the other teachers involved in this process and can't wait to bring what I learn back to the classroom!
Have a great evening! :)
