Health Project

 

 

 AlSalamo Alikom Dear Parents,

As a new Unit, we have starting talking about healthy habits. We watched a video last week about different ways of being healty and avoid getting sick etc.

This week are going to work on a project that gets students to create their own book with illustration of 'how to do activity.

 Here is the outline of the project:

 They are to work in pairs.

 Activity:

Do you remember when you learned to kick a ball? Or hop onone foot? Or dribble a basketball? Even though these skills may be easy for you now, they werent always a piece of cake? Now that your are a motor skill master, you can help out some little kids who write and illustrate a book for young kids that shows the steps of mastering the skill. Be sure to break the skill down into simple steps with clear illustrations that little kids will be able to follow. Don't forget to emphasize how much fun it is to use the skill once you have learned it.

We will work on it in class next week - Wednesday January 23, 2013


The due date of the proejct is : Wednesday January 30, 2013

Alsalamo Alikom dear Parent/Caregiver:

Over the next two weeks, your child will be learning about dividing decimals.

The focus of the lessons will be on estimating quotients, dividing whole numbers
and decimals by whole numbers, and using division and other operations to solve
problems. Throughout the chapter, your child will be asked to communicate his
or her understanding and to solve problems.

Throughout this time, you and your child may engage in activities, such as the following:

• Look for examples of dividing decimals in your everyday life.

For example, if a bike path is 4.5 km long and you want to divide it into 3 equal
distances, how long would each be? Estimate and then calculate the distance.

• Practise using a calculator to divide money. Pose and solve problems such as:

a large pizza costs $13.99. Four friends will share the cost. How much will each
friend have to pay? Estimate and then use the calculator.

• Pose and solve problems involving dividing by 10, 100, 1000, and 10 000.

For example, if the scale on a drawing is 1:10, how high will the drawing of a
bookcase be that is 1.2 m tall? If a sketch of a bird has a scale of 1:100, how
all will the sketch be if the actual bird is 22 cm tall?
You may want to visit:
mathK8.nelson.com and follow the links to Nelson Mathematics 6,

Chapter 10, for more suggestions to help your child learn mathematics and for books

that relate children’s literature to dividing decimals. Also, check the Web site for links
to other Web sites that provide online tutorials, math problems, and brainteasers.

If your child is using a

Mathematics 6 Workbook, pages 88 to 93 belong to Chapter 10.

There is a page of practice questions for each of the five lessons in the chapter and
a Test Yourself page at the end. If your child requires assistance, you can refer to the
At-Home Help box on each Workbook page.

Social Studies Project

 

 

Dear Parents,

Over the past weeks we have been talking about the Aboriginal people. We are now covering Aboriginal shelters. Part of the coverage, I have assigned the class a group project.

There are 6 types of Shelter; students are broken into groups of three to four. Each group is assigned type of a shelter.  Each group is to gather information regarding the shelter they are assigned. They are also assigned to draw and make a 3-D model of the shelter. We will take class time to work on it. Next week, we will be in the science lab to start the 3-D model. I have handed out the rubric that will be used during their presentation on the week of January 21, 2012.

The due date for the project is due Monday, January 21, 201

The presentation dates are as follow

1.       Monday, January 21, 201

2.       Wednesday, January 23, 2013

A random selection was done for the order of the presentation.  The groups know when they will be presenting.

Thank you,
