Social Studies
In grade four we talked about different farming practices in Ancient Rome and Judea. Why did they plant in the fall and harvest crops in the spring? When do we plant and harvest in our area? I will be reviewing notebooks over the weekend. Make sure you have completed all of your comparison charts neatly. It will be much easier to write your comparison paragraph. Tomorrow we will finish discussing natural resources in Judea and Ancient Rome.

In grade five we discussed how the First Nations communities made decisions. Decisions were made by consensus, everyone had to agree. It is still a practice used today and is often used in elementary schools to resolve conflicts. How do you think talking circles helps consensus decision making? Do you think it would work in a classroom? Share with a parent the practice of smudging. We have completed our content for the week in grade five. The remaining time this week will be spent on completing assignments and questions.

Math

Today we talked about the RANGE, MEDIAN and MODE. What tip did "Median Mike" give to calculate the median when there is an even number of data (numbers)?

Please complete # 4 - 8. If you understand how to do #8, then you really understand median and mode. COMPLETE YOUR MATHLETICS ASSIGNMENTS ON MODE AND MEDIAN.

Health

Keep adding to your questions on the short and long term effects of smoking and alcohol. Don't forget factors that affect intoxication grade 5.

Science

Tomorrow morning we construct our volcano. Make sure you have your materials.
