What did we do in school today?

Science-

Today in class, we worked on our three cards about commensalism, parasitism and mutualism. The cards should have a definition of the word, a symbol describing the word and an example of how the relationship is one of commensalism, parasitism or mutualism. Also have a video of the card you will present to the class.  The cards are due by Wednesday and that is when you have to present one of your cards to the class.

Homework-

1. Finish project

September 18--Humanities

Today in class, we strengthened  our understanding of the following words using the Frayer Model: First Nations, diversity, and contact.  We also continued to work on the map of Canada.

Homework:  You will have 15min. tomorrow to complete your map.  If you require more time, please work on it tonight at home.

Science

In science students are deepening their understanding of symbiotic relationships through a research project.  The end result of this project will be three index cards, each card will have a definition, a symbol, and an  example on one of the three symbiotic relationships.  Students will present their work in class on Wednesday September 24.  The assignment sheet for this project can be found on D2L in the content folders.

Math

In math we have worked through a number of class activities aimed at strengthening students understanding of the value of decimals numbers.  We are moving towards  being able to compare and order numbers that are in decimal, fraction, or percent form and performing operations with decimal numbers.
