We celebrated our Hawks Cup win today with some frozen treats!
Keep up the kindness - not for the points - because its the right thing to do.

Math
We will continue with the Leo the Rabbit question:

Leo the Rabbit is climbing up a flight of 10 steps. Leo can only hop up 1 or 2 steps each time he hops. He never hops down, only up. How many different ways can Leo hop up the flight of 10 steps? Provide evidence to justify your thinking.

Tomorrow is jersey day!
If you have a sports jersey wear it tomorrow to get our class Hawks Cup points.

Tomorrow will also be our frozen treat party! Woo Hoo!!!

Math

Sadly - we did not get to learn from the folks at Waterlution. I'm working on rescheduling!

Team
I'm really excited about how we are starting to work together as a team.
We are starting to listen to the quieter voices among us and we are starting to realize that each and every person has great things to contribute to our community.
Great job!

Infographics are due tomorrow!
Please check the blog post on Nov. 20th for the success criteria.

I am very excited to be learning with folks from Waterlution tomorrow!

Many many thanks to our class members who replanted our desk plants in our awesome new pots!

Math
Please complete the work on tree diagrams that we began today.

Outdoor Learning
Considering we did not go out today - we will be going out tomorrow. Please dress to learn outside.
We will head down to the water to discuss the following questions:
1. Where does your drinking water come from?
2. When you turn on the tap, are you ever concerned about the water not being safe?
3. Do you think everyone has access to clean drinking water?
4. What is a boil water advisory?
5. What do you think causes boil water advisories?
6. Why is it important for everyone to have safe drinking water?

Geography
Research is due next class.

Math
Below is theoretical probability we discussed in class.
If you were to bet $100 on one roll of the dice - which number would you bet on? Please explain fully using the vocabulary we have been working on.

Infographic Assignment
Your challenge is to create an infographic that balances the statistics around homelessness in Canada and the stories behind the real people that are homeless.
Here is the success criteria that we created together:

• Current statistics - homelessness in Canada
• Humanize the issue
• Neat - organized, readable and clear
• Prioritize information - not too wordy
• Pictures - clear, relatable (appropriate) connect to the words
• Text/font - bold, eye-catching, variety in colour and size, readable
• Titles and subtitles

Remember this will be due on Wednesday.

It can be done on computer - or hand written/drawn.

Here are some more examples:

Literacy
Awesome knowledge building circle today! Please take the thoughts and ideas shared today to now revise our school land acknowledgement. I will collect your rewritten land acknowledgement on Wednesday. Remember you need to acknowledge the Dish With One Spoon Treaty and connect it in a meaningful way to our school pillars of Be Kind to Yourself, Be Kind to Others and Be Kind to the Environment.

"At Moraine Hills we would like to acknowledge that we live, work and play on Dish With One Spoon Treaty Lands. This treaty agreement is an understanding that all people - past, present and future - who share this land are responsible for making sure that we are kind to ourselves, kind to one another, and kind to the land that we call home. In this spirit, we are working towards peace, reconciliation, and equal rights for our indigenous partners."

Please return report card envelopes!

What a great day at the McMichael yesterday!

I'm so excited for our outdoor ed field trip tomorrow!

Progress Reports

Please be kind to the environment and return the envelope so we can use it for your next report.

Math
A nickel is worth 5 cents (5¢), a dime is worth 10 cents (10¢), a quarter is worth 25 cents (25¢), and a dollar is worth 100 cents (100¢).

A piggy bank contains some quarters, dimes and nickels. There are no other coins in the piggy bank. The ratio of the number of quarters to the number of dimes to the number of nickels in the piggy bank is 9 : 3 : 1.

The total value of all of the coins in the piggy bank is $18.20. Determine the number of coins in the piggy bank.

Use today's discussion to help you solve the above problem.

Math

In 5 years the average North American eats about 115 kg of fruit. How much does the average North American eat in 7 years?

Land Acknowledgement
Let's think about the wording:
"At Moraine Hills we would like to acknowledge that we live, work and play on Dish With One Spoon Treaty Lands. This treaty agreement is an understanding that all people - past, present and future - who share this land are responsible for making sure that we are kind to ourselves, kind to one another, and kind to the land that we call home. In this spirit, we are working towards peace, reconciliation, and equal rights for our indigenous partners."

Math
Please answer the following question using pictures, numbers and words.

At a track and field meet, Shaun and Raoul are competing in a 1000 m race. Suppose that, after the first few seconds of acceleration, both runners run at a constant speed.

The judges recorded the following information using a stopwatch:
After 20 seconds, Shaun passed the 100 m mark
After 25 seconds, Raoul passed the 150 m mark

How can you determine the winner of the race? By how much did they win?
