Writing:
Students were to choose two characters, and decide what personality characteristics each would have. The next step will be to write in such a way that the reader is shown those characteristics, not just told. The work the students did can be viewed here: https://padlet.com/clarke/doyle

Math:
We are looking at Monday or Tuesday of next week for a short quiz to check understanding of the content covered so far in the last couple of weeks. Specifically we're looking at expanded form, standard form, written numbers, multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100; whole numbers up to
100 000. (M or T)
Socials:
We had a rich conversation under Ms. Beleski's leadership around emigration today, and that will lead the class into an inquiry project around the idea of global emigration/immigration to Canada. We looked at 4 questions, and the depth of understanding from the class is already impressive. These are the questions we looked at today:
Details on the inquiry project will be discussed next week, and also posted here.
Halloween! Our class was decked out in all sorts of scary finery! Have a safe and happy Halloween!

October 29
I forgot to mention it in class today, but next Thursday could you please bring in some small, empty candy boxes (5-10) for an Art project? If you have any buttons, pipe cleaner, tiny assorted hardware doodads or small mis-matched toy pieces, you may bring those in as well. A Ziploc or paper bag would be a good place to assemble all these supplies.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
Mrs. Startup

Our class won a prize!
I received this email today from the University of Guelph:
Last year I applied to do the Malaise Trap Biodiversity program and didn't get my class accepted, so when the chance came around this year, I applied again. We had a lot of fun collecting bugs back in September and early October. We'll hear the results in December, but in the meantime, we were one of 5 schools singled out, out of a total of 80 schools across Canada! Lucky us!
