Day 3 Thursday November 7

Dear Oakwood and St. Jude’s Families,

We will be celebrating World Kindness Day on Wednesday, November 13^th, 2019! Created in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, this unofficial holiday encourages people to spread happiness, joy, and peace through kindness. The Oakwood and St. Jude’s community will be creating a Kindness Rainbow around the school representing inclusiveness towards all students. Students will be able to purchase 3 paper chain links for $2 to write words of kindness or draw a picture on. They will return the links to be added to the Kindness Rainbow. All participating students will also be able to dress in casual clothes for the day! If you wish to participate in this event, please bring in $2 by Tuesday November 12 ^th, 2019.

The next Caribou Contest takes place on Wednesday, November 13^th, 2019. Participants are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. Bring a charged device, preferably a laptop, iPad or Tablet. You have one hour to write the test.

This month’s test includes an interactive question. The interactive question will differ by grade: Tangram for Grades 2 to 4, Chomp for Grades 5 to 10, and finally a GeomeTree construction involving triangles for Grades 11/12.  You can practice these now on Caribou’s Games page. Let Caribou know if you have any problems with the games.
Caribou strongly recommends familiarizing yourselves with these games before the contest.  Because certain games pages can be used to solve the questions, these will be blocked from Tuesday morning, November 12^th, (start of the contest in the far East) to Thursday evening, November 15th at 8 pm EST.
For Grades 3 to 12, there will be a history question about Emmy Noether. Students in these grades should read the relevant section of Caribou’s History page in your preferred language to prepare.

Math:
Today we practiced moving from a starting point to an end point following instructions and by giving the instructions. We also practiced getting from an end point back to a starting point.

 We completed number 1. a-d as a class and then students were asked to complete the rest on their own. What was not completed in class was sent home for homework.

UOI:
We completed our final Science Fair test today. These were the results.

 To our surprise the cookies dissolved faster today even though we still set the timer for two minutes. Almost all of the Oreo dissolved today except for the filling in the middle. Although they dissolved faster today Chips Ahoy was always first then the Oreo, next the short bread, and lastly the wafer.

We documented our results from today and completed the procedure part of our journals.
