The next Caribou Contest takes place on Wednesday, November 13th, 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 12th, (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.

Please have a quick look through the lost and found items NOW located in the gym. On November 8th at 4pm all left over items will be donated to the local Salvation Army.
Congratulation to our Knowledgeable award winner.

Today students wrote their spelling test.
They then started their OWA assessment. We reviewed all the important components of a recount and a letter and got our graphic organizers out. We also reviewed the brainstorm we did on Wednesday. I then read students a level 4 example to give them an idea of the kind of detail they should be writing in their letters.

Math:
Today students learned how to write the probability of something happening using numbers. Students learned that the total number of items or pieces goes on the bottom and the number of the specific pieces you are looking at (red, A, 10) goes on the top. We completed Pg. 192 as a class.
