Humanities:

• Students will complete their visual journal on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Math:

• We have started working in Math teams, and I am so proud of how supportive the students have been with each other.  They are becoming more patient and articulate when asking and answering one another's questions, and many gentle leaders are emerging.
• We are creating and playing many Theoretical and Experimental Probability games and challenges.  Both classes will have our 'Fun Five' (5 question independent quiz) on Wednesday to wrap up the probability work for now. Does your child know how to explain and find Theoretical Probability, Experimental Probability and the most challenging part of COMPARE them?
• Here is a great place for quick summary probability concepts.  Look for the probability lesson and games:
