Happy Friday!

We made it! What a busy week!

In Math, we are continuing our work with the Order of Operations (PEDMAS) and were able to achieve a new high score in our PEDMAS challenge! We'll keep playing next week to see if we can break the current Room 208 record of 24 correct answers!

We also worked in groups to re-work the problem-solving Math assessment we completed at the end of January. Our task this morning, in addition to solving for the correct answer, was to organize and explain our work so that we could clearly justify how we arrived at our answer.

In Français, we continued reading our Zamboni text. In Chapter 3 we finally learn about the narrator's mom (who we have been wondering about since the beginning of the book!) and also learn a bit more about the narrator's life and why he chose to live with his dad when his parents got divorced.

Finally, in Science, we started our study of the five Kingdoms of living things.

We learned the names of the Kingdoms [Protiste (Protista), Monère (Monera), Mycète (Fungi), Plante (Plant) and Animal (Animal)] and also discussed how some scientists are now suggesting there are six Kingdoms instead of five.

Next week, we will begin discussing the main characteristics of each Kindgom, and will learn how things that seem so different, like Athlete's Foot and mushrooms, can possibly be a part of the same category. (Yes, gross... but also cool? Maybe?)
