There will be no math question this weekend.  A few weeks ago we started making a list of curious questions.  The students listed any question they wanted to know the answer to.  Soon we will be putting these questions together and start working with them.  I would like all the students to submit one more question they are curious about.  Comment on this post to give me your question and we will share them next week!

Our class along with room 208 will be leading a school assembly on October 8th.  The theme of the assembly is respect.  Parents are invited to the assembly at 9:00.  Hope to see you there!

Library is day 2.  The next few library days will be…

October 7

October 16

October 24

Picture day is Wednesday, September 24th.  Please remember to send the card with your choice of pose and background colour.

The school will be close September 29 for a teacher inservice.

There are two questions again this week.  All students must complete the first one and the second is optional.  Please explain or show how you found your answer.  If you did the question on paper then write what you did.

Question 1

The Blah Network is showing some great new television shows.  Penrod’s new favourite is Wallpaper Weekly.  It starts at 9:15 A.M.  The show itself is 75 minutes, but there are two 2-minute commercials and four 30-second commercials in there as well.  What time is it over?

Question 2

Chuck delivers The Daily Blab in his neighbourhood.  It is collection day on Chuck’s paper route.  He got a $10 bill, a $1 bill and a nickel from Mr. Yawn.  He got a $5, two $1 bills and 4 quarters from Mrs. Yap.  He got two $5 bills and a 5 dimes from Ms. Yelp.  Who paid Chuck the most money?  How much?

This weekend the students are bringing home a reflection for the first chapter of our novel Silverwing.  I have already sent all families an email describing this assignment and the students and I have discussed it in class.  Please let me know if you didn’t get the email or if you need further clarification.  Thanks

Please answer the following math questions by replying to the post.  All students must do the first question and those wanting an extra challenge can do the second.  Please explain or show how you found your answer and use a complete sentence.

Question 1

Chef Crayzee was making his infamous pie a la bug.  His special recipe called for 41 black ants, 52 beetles, 29 mealworms, 27 red ants and 16 flies to make one batch.  How many ants does he need to make two batches?

Question 2

Natasha Noodlenova was loking over the exotic pasta display at the fair.  There were 789 noodles from Upper Volta, 210 from Egypt, 99 from Uraguay and 25 from Uganda.  How many noodles were there from countries that start with ‘U’?

We no longer need an email address in order to reply to a post, just a username which the students have been given.

Rather than a reflection or math problem this weekend, I would like everyone to spend a few minutes exploring the blog.  Students, please reply to this post to show me you have visited the site and leave a message explaining how you like it so far and if you think you will like using it as a part of the class.

You may need to include your email address (it won’t be posted and you can always make something up) and please remember to use the name I gave to you rather than your real name.
