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.

Mme. Rawan was away today. Mrs. Autio walked through this book with students. It is a book without any words. It is about a young boy who moves to America and what this journey was like for him.
Students were then asked to write a journal about what they thought about the book or how the book made them feel. Students were also given to write about their own experiences in other countries.

Math:
Today students learned how to identify whether a game is fair or unfair. As a class we then practiced explaining how we know whether the game is fair or unfair.
Students then played some games and explained their findings.

Today students were asked to use their research they conducted last week on their chosen country. Students used this research to write a postcard to their parents telling them about what it was like there.
