 Hi parents,

We had a great day today, once again mostly spent on work period time.

Today the kids finished up their Food Chain projects, by inventing a carnivore that was capable of eating the herbivore they created yesterday. I've had a couple kids tell me this was one of their favourite projects we've done this year, which makes me really happy. It's been a lot of fun to see their creations for me too.

In math, we did a tricky fraction math problem, in which the students were presented with a hypothetical race, and a list of runners, with their current position written as a fraction. For example, "Henry is 1/2 of the way to the finish. Sam is 3/8 of the way to the finish."

Students had to figure out which runners were farthest ahead or behind, by using equivalent fractions to figure out the relative position of fractions with different denominators.

The whole afternoon was work period. Most students are staying on top of their work, but there are a few who will probably have a bit of homework this weekend....

Tomorrow we are starting our Book in a Box presentations.  We also have our second session of Wheelchair Basketball.

Have a nice night,

Zac
