Today's classes:
Div. 4 English - We finished chapter 10 of Lord of the Flies and continued onto the beginning of chapter 11. You all did a great job completing your webs on our main idea: Symbolism. We discussed what the symbols in the story represent so far and you were to think of one new symbol on your own to add to our list.
Div. 4 Math - We reviewed what we already know about the Pythagorean Theorem. Our list included the formula, side names of a triangle (hypotenuse and legs), that it is always true to right triangles (90 degree angles), that Pythagorean triples are sides that equal our formula and are WHOLE numbers, and how to find sides a or b by subtracting, and side c by adding. We did some practice questions on the board reviewing the Pythagorean triples and right triangle rules. You started a practice sheet and we will continue working through it in class tomorrow.
Div. 3 Social Studies - We watched a short video on Viking Norse Mythology to introduce you to the gods and goddesses. You then started a worksheet which we took into the computer lab to do our own research on the Viking realm and the nine worlds. Next class we will continue working through the worksheet to complete our god and goddesses summary cards.
Div. 5 English - We began reading chapter 11 and will finish this chapter next class. We had a class discussion and you took notes on the essential question: "What holds a society together and what tears it apart?" You did an excellent job describing the different meanings that can come from the term "society."
Tuesday's word of the day is motivate. Along with the word you will need to tell me something that you are motivated to do this week besides sleeping. Think - make time for..., complete..., etc.
