Math

Great job on your linear relations assessment! The marks reflected effort and hard work with understanding the concepts. We are very proud. Please continue to push through and work every night on Math concepts learned in class. This will only benefit YOU and your understanding.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Aztec Simulation

We will be starting our Aztec simulation on Monday and it is VERY exciting : )

Please dress colorful, as the Aztecs would! Also, if you are a warrior, please wear clothing you can move in (jumping, running, etc). This will help you complete your missions!

I never thought I would say I can't wait for Monday but I am pretty excited! Hope you are too. Have a good weekend!

Math continued

Please check the blog post below.

If you are having trouble with the concepts in the blog post below, please use either Khan Academy or IXL to practice.

On IXL follow this link:

Make sure you are able to complete the majority of problems in the red box area.

Khan Academy follow this link:

Good luck!

Math

We will have a Math assessment on Thursday.  It will be a unit final (open notebook...please pep up your Math journals so you have all of your notes/foldables etc).

At this point, you should be able to graph:

y = 5x + 2

y = -3x - 4

y = 2x

Create a table of values for x, y values for:

y = 2x + 1

y = 4x

Describe what the graph looks like for:

y = -10x + 2

What can you tell about the line from this equation?

Have a great long weekend!

Your essays are due on Tuesday. Have a wonderful long weekend : )

Kananaskis URGENT!!!!!

I sent an email to parents/guardians & students last night.

Our trip is tomorrow!!!  We are beyond desperate for forms at this point!!!

If you have a valid police clearance & can volunteer, we would love for you to join us.

Please ensure that you are dressed for the weather!!!  Layers!!!  Rubber boots or old running shoes...no sandals or cute little summer shoes.  Please bring a hat or toque.  Maybe a pair of gloves in your back pack too.  Sunscreen & sunglasses might be good as well.

Please ensure that you have a water bottle, lots of snacks, and a big lunch as you will be hungry working outside all day.  You must pack your lunch & garbage in and out of Kananaskis.

There will of course, be no microwaves, access to hot water, or any where to purchase lunch.

Humanities

Your essay is due on Thursday. Please have it printed off and ready to be handed in. You have two periods tomorrow to work on it as well. Good luck : )

Math Stations

Today we completed a bunch of station work. You all worked super hard and your work looked great. For those who were absent, here are some picture of what we did today.

I would highly recommend reviewing these concepts on Khan Academy and IXL this weekend. Have a good one! : )

Math & Science

Good work today working through the beginning of our Linear Relations Unit.  You will have a double work period tomorrow for Math.

Please, please, please bring in your field trip forms and $10 for our Kananaskis asap!!!  We are booked for May 18th with a handful of you needing to go on May 19th as you are in Sports Pro.

Fort McMurray Help

Mr. Fell announced today that we are partnering with North Star Ford and will be sending donations up to Fort McMurray on Tuesday next week.

Donations can be made in the form of:

- water bottles
- non-perishable food items
- blankets

*All donations are to be dropped off in the front foyer*

Please chat with your adults about donating to this cause - it is very close to many of our hearts!

Aztec Work

Please use the following link to complete your reading today:

Aztec Magazine

Please read to page 7, skip page 8, and then read on to page 13.

Good luck : )

Math

You have a Pythagorus Unit exam on Monday next week. This week we will be reviewing and completing word problems.

Please make sure you are comfortable with the concepts, procedures, and estimation behind perfect squares and square rooting.

Humanities

Today we went through what a strong thesis statement looks like. You were given four examples of strong and weak thesis statements, and we identified together why each was strong and why the others were weak.

This was important as we need to write a thesis before even beginning to plan our essay.

Tomorrow we will continue writing our statements and then will work on brainstorming ideas from the movie and/or other literature.

If you were away, check-in with Ms. Noullett or Ms. deVuyst so that you can get caught up on strong thesis statements.

Updated Marks

Hope you're enjoying this amazing Sunday!!

All of your marks have been updated in home logic. I encourage you to go on and take a look in case you have not handed in an assignment. You will receive your marked rubrics back tomorrow.

Great job on the interviews this week - we loved them!
