Week of February 19 - 22, 2013
Thursday HW
1. MMS pages 86-87. This work on surface area likely requires additional rough work pages to complete correctly. The booklet doesn't leave enough space. We completed four modelled questions today together. A major point for students to remember is drawing diagrams of both the 3D solid and the 2D net for the solid. That usually helps them a great deal.
2. Creation Myth good copy is due on Monday with 8 coloured cartoon panels and accomapanying captions that tell the story of the poem we read.
3. Book Report reading is ongoing.
*** We need just one more cereal box for a class set.
Wednesday HW
1. Cereal box collection is ongoing. We have 21 boxes for 24 students.
We introduced Surface Area today in Math class but did not progress to the point where I could assign homework.
We've been making use of the laptops a fair bit in recent weeks. Here is an interesting video about music and computers. The HAL 9000 computer also sang this number in 2001. It has a nice retro chiptune feel to it.
Tuesday HW
1. Math quiz on money tomorrow.
There was no homwork on Tuesday.

Week of February 4 - 8, 2013
Friday HW
There is no homework this weekend. However I neglected to post yesterday that the Math quiz scheduled for Monday will be written on Tuesday instead. There were six absences on Friday and I thought perhaps those students wouldn't have study materials at home. Happy shoveling!
Thursday HW
1. Math problem of the week due tomorrow.
2. Last math Quiz on Unit 4, lessons 10, 11 and 12 on Monday February 11.
3. Penny drive.
4. Cereal boxes for February 19.
5. Interview requests sent home yesterday are being returned. I got seven today. Please return them as soon as possible.
6. Tax receipts for four families went home today from Runnymede's parent council. If you are expecting one please ask your child about it.
7. Diary of an astronaut is due tomorrow. we've spent in excess of six class periods on this assignment and have viewed videos on the ISS, the Hubble, and the shuttle for insight on mission types and astronaut life for background.
Wednesday HW
1. Book Report due tomorrow.
2. Math problem of the week due on Friday.
3. Last Unit 4 math Quiz on Lessons 10,11 and 12 on Monday, February 11.

Tuesday HW
1. Page 65 from MMS should be done in the math notebook tonight. I revised the homework yesterday but did not update the blog last afternoon.
2. Math Quiz on Unit 4, Lessons 8 and 9 tomorrow.
3. Book Report due on Thursday Feb. 7.
4. Math problem of the Week due ion Friday Feb. 8.

Monday HW
1. Book Report Due on February 7
2. Math Quiz Unit 4 Lessons 8 and 9 on Wednesday, February 6.
3. Constellation Story Planner shown for checking tomorrow. We worked on this in class for more than 50 minutes today as I circulated to take questions and provide feedback. We formed success criteria for a good story together in class today to help fill in this graphic organizer.
4. MMS pages 64-65. Zero in the quotient is an area to be mindful of. I also stressed the use of estimation to help check answers for reasonableness.
5. Math problem of the week due on Friday (No Business Like Snow Business). I expect the students to provide a more detailed Answer-Prove-Extend/Explain solution on the reverse side. It should be readable and include number work and sentences. We've modelled this style several times in class, most recently today during math class.
Here is some lunar lightheartedness from 1972 for our Music on a Monday. There is a substantial minority of our class that believes the lunar missions are elaborate hoaxes. I'll keep trying to persuade them otherwise.
