We've had a busy week. We're finishing our algebra (patterns and relations) unit. We'll review next week and have already started our next unit, Statistics and Probability (Data Management and chance and uncertainty.)

Science: we're continuing our study of wetlands and are currently working on a project that includes information on:
  • the importance of wetlands
  • human actions that are helping wetlands
  • human actions that are hurting wetlands
  • why wetlands should be preserved
  • whether Beaumont should continue to preserve wetlands- Explain why or why not
Social: we are continuing our study of confederation.

This week we:

Started a new unit in math. Patterns and relations, the precursor to algebra. No homework mostly because the textbook work has been a little too difficult. We did lots of work online with algebra and number puzzles.
Shape and space (measurement, geometry etc.) test next week.

Finished all our letters from a Loyalist.Worked on geography.

Did the science test on electricity which can be signed.
Continued to work on our new unit, Wetlands.
Spent quite a bit of time on something we can't discuss until Monday.

Happy Mothers' Day! Have a great weekend.
