Hey - here's one thing you can do if you have already finished your graffiti and circle art...

Free Choice - you can choose white paper or coloured construction paper from the shelves (over behind where Jacob is sitting)...

Then...use chalk (over by the window),
or water colours - in the bottom shelf under Ms. Hearn's table...
or pencils
or pastels (yours)
or pencil crayons or felts!

Graffiti Art

Web Site of Great Ideas! - Choose anything here! But don't take too long deciding, or you won't do anything!!!

Another Web Site of Great Ideas - these are drawing ideas...

Getting your Math Project Completed....

2009-12-10T01:41:00.000-08:00

Here is some more advice from me regarding FINISHING the Math Project. Here is a timeline of what you need to complete to get your project done ON TIME!

IMMEDIATELY- CHOOSE YOUR GAMES

Have you selected your games? If not, now is the time! You must get this accomplished ASAP. Don't waste any more time.

BY SATURDAY - FINISH THE QUESTIONS!

To plan out your time effectively, I would recommend that you FINISH answering the questions completely, including the good copy, by Saturday AT THE LATEST! Friday would be better! Remember, you need to show as much about what you understand as possible. You can use pictures as well as words and numbers to explain your ideas and understanding.
***Remember to check the TIPS section of our Div.4 Blogspot Page - it's VERY helpful!***

BY SUNDAY - START THE FINAL PART of the PROJECT

This is the part that is explained on the page labeled CONCLUSION on the WebQuest page. The basic info is this: You need to choose one of the math manipulatives from the process page and create a presentation on what you discovered. Read that CONCLUSION page for more info.

I can always be reached by Moodle Message or email if you have questions or would like more guidance. I hope that this information can help you.

Lyrics and Music for "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream"

2009-12-04T15:58:00.001-08:00

Here's the link to the music on youtube: Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
And the room was filled with me
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

Project Tips - as of Dec. 4

2009-12-04T11:29:00.000-08:00

Here are some pointers for completing the math project:

You need to look at all 7 games, play them a few times each
You need to also look at the questions listed for each game
Then, you need to choose 3 games – make sure to select three games that you understand well, AND that where you also understand the questions.

WARNING – Don’t spend ALL your time playing the games….if you do, you will not finish this project on time!

Don’t forget to explain yourself when answering questions by using MATH!

Game #1 - Towers of Hanoi

Question #2 – This is like making an input/output chart. The number of discs is the independent variable (the input), and the minimum number of moves is the dependent variable (the output).

Game #2 – Circle 0

This is a challenging game, because we have not yet studied this concept this year. The Grade 7’s should have all learned about integers in Grade 6.
Anyone can choose to do this game, and if so, it will be considered an extra challenge.

Game #3 – Peg Puzzle

Question #2 is a challenge, because we have not studied what an algorithm is. However, an algorithm is just a rule. A rule can be shown as an equation, or a math sentence or a set of instructions. So, even though this is a big and challenging word, if you write the instructions, then you have written your algorithm.

Game #4 – Mastermind

Question #3 – When the question says, “this game works a lot like a proof” – what this means is…This game works because as you play, the game shows you how to solve the problem. A proof is like a method to solve a problem. Your job is to write a rule. Writing a rule is like writing an equation, or a set of instructions, or a math sentence.

Game #5 – The Coin Problem

I don’t have any tips right now, let me know if you need some!

Game #6 – Stick or Switch

Make sure you understand what it means to make or find a percentage. This is an important skill for this game and explanation.

Game #7 – Fill and Pour

I don’t have any tips right now, let me know if you need some!

Here is the link for your project: Patterns WebQuest

Here are the notes from our discussion:
Math Patterns Project

*Game number 2 is optional
*More you can say about math is the better
*answers to questions can be more than just words
*You can use Imovie, power point,

How you should be marked:

•    Appearance – self, classmates, teacher
•    How well it was presented – classmates, teacher
•    Answering the questions – showing/telling what you know - teacher
•    Math understanding – self, teacher
•    Neat and organized – self, classmates?, teacher
•    Detailed - teacher
•    How much you connect math into the project - teacher
•    Effort – self, classmates, teacher
•    Completeness - teacher
•    Productive use of class time – self, teacher

Good morning!

Congratulations to: Katie, Jack, Maddy, Megan, Abby, Graham – you all handed in your missing work and are now OFF THE LIST!!!! Way to go!

Alex – Can you finish the yellow dot job sometime today?

Is there anybody who is willing to go to Mrs. Eddy’s class to help her with organizing some decks of cards? Her decks are all mixed up and they need to be put back together! Please write your name on the whiteboard. Ms. Hearn will select volunteers from the list. Some might go today during PE (if you are willing), and others tomorrow during computers.

We are starting with iMovies from people who still have not shown them: Stacey, Tom, Luke P., Dylan, Victor, Anthony, Ayden.

Taylor and Katie – I need you to make two small changes to your Spirit Day document.

Please re-arrange the rows so that they are in date order. E.g. November/December comes first, June comes last!
Please add to the bottom – “This bulletin was written and prepared by Taylor Jackson and Katie Campbell!”

Don’t forget - Victor, Anthony, and Ayden – you three MUST stay after school today until 3:00pm to catch up on overdue work. Please see me if you need a phone slip.

Attendance – second name on the Admin list (because it’s the first school day of the week)
Planner Check – the name underneath the person doing planners

Friday, November 13th

2009-11-13T08:13:00.002-08:00

Good morning!

Moodle has been a pain. I know! While they sort this stuff out, maybe I will post a few extra bits of info on the class home page. Also, I again emailed your parents last night with the math pages, in hopes that you were able to use that to help finish any work that you did not finish up at school
Anyone who brought their poppy donation in should please put it into the poppy tin (either on the front table or on my desk). Thank-you. Today is the last day for poppy donations!
Please have your planners and everything you need until recess at your desk.
It’s FRIDAY! That means Friday morning work block! These people MUST attend: Haylie, Anthony, Madison, Ayden. Anyone else wishing to go will need to see Ms. Hearn.
People not attending the work block will be doing some SEEDS work! We MUST finish our class posters, as well as begin work on all the multitude of postcards for our beautiful tree.
Ms. Hearn needs to speak with the two groups that were hanging postcards during the last SEEDS time.

In Flanders Fields

2009-11-08T23:04:00.003-08:00

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)
