It's Wednesday!

Hello, Wednesday!
We had a great morning of learning today!

In Math, after finishing our calcul mental assessment, we practiced drawing multi-step transformations (completing a series of rotations, reflections and translation) to a single figure.
We will practice our transformations skills for the reminder of the week before completing a short, formal assessment early next week (likely Wednesday).


In Francais today, we were treated to many great CFOO - Opinion presentations. Bravo to all students who took to the time to write a well-prepared speech. 😃💬

Finally, in Science, we completed the first "test" in our first lab demo of the year. The goal of the experiment is to see how much time it takes for a candle's flame to extinguish when covered by different volumes of beakers.


We will repeat the same experiment again tomorrow (because a good experiment is repeatable!) and then calculate the average time for each beaker before representing the results in the form of a graph. Please ask me about the predictions I made in class today and what results we have noted thus far!
(You can also ask me about Mme Careen's AWESOME safety goggles! Ha!)

*****
Agenda items:
1. Looking for a way to enrich your learning in Français and Science this term?
Consider participating in Concours and/or Science Fair!
(An email explaining both options was sent home last Friday.)
2. "Ma resolution" sentence and Tomatosphere graph - due tomorrow (Thursday)
Many students have already completed both tasks, and most of quite close to being done.
Students were given one last block of classroom time this morning to finish these items (two periods of work time were previously given) but are asked to review and finish their work over the noon hour and/or at home if required to ensure they do not fall behind.
3. January Scholastic orders - due Friday, January 18
