Chromebook distribution will begin tomorrow for Chief Taylor School,
Tuesday, January 26, 2021 will be for Grade 7's
Wednesday, January 27, 2021 will be Grade 6's
Thursday, January 28 will be for Grade 5's
We will need a $20.00 cash deposit (that you will get back in June) and both the student and a parent/guardian. There will be information given to both the parent and student and also an agreement to be signed. So come on by and pick up a chromebook and chat with your child's teacher.
If you have a child in Grade 7 and hasn't picked up their school check in December, or their gift, those can also be picked up...
We will also be doing door prizes
Ay Hiy and we hope to see you all within the next few days!!
Reflection: When a shape is reflected in a mirror we see a reflection image. The line segment that joins a point to its image is perpendicular to the line of reflection. A shape and its image have opposite orientations, or face opposite ways. A reflection is sometimes called a flip because when a shape is reflected, it is flipped over.
Practice drawing reflections on a piece of paper. Take a picture of your drawings and send them to ct.srgopher@gmail.com or text images to 306-307-7443
When we rotate an image, we turn a shape on a point of rotation. We can turn or rotate the image clockwise or counterclockwise. The point of rotation will be on one of the vertices of the shape.
Think about the hands on a clock. When the minute hand moves from the 12 to the 3, it rotates a quarter turn clockwise.
When the minute hand moves from the 12 to the 6, It rotates a half turn clockwise.
When the minute hand move from the 12 to the 9, it rotates a three-quarter turn.
Please click the link below to watch how to rotate objects:
Now that you have seen how to do rotations, on a piece of paper draw a triangle. Label the vertices A, B and C. Rotate the triangle a half turn clockwise, and label the vertices on the image.
Draw a square and label the vertices A, B, C and D. Rotate the square 3/4 turn clockwise and label the image and its vertices.
Draw a shape (not a circle) of your choice. Choose a vertex to rotate your shape 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Label your image and the vertices.
Once you have finished, take a picture and email or text the picture to ct.srgopher@gmail.com or 306-307-7443.
A translation is like a slide. An object slides from one spot to another. It does not change size, doesn't flip, and doesn't change direction. It stays exactly the same, sliding from one spot to another. Think of when you go down a slide on the playground. The picture below shows examples of translations, or slides.
Watch the video below to see how to translate shapes.
After watching the video, on a piece of paper draw 3 shapes of your choice. Translate them to a new spot. Once you have finished, take a picture and email or text the picture to ct.srgopher@gmail.com or 306-307-7443.
This week we will beginning a new unit: Hero's (Personal and Philosophical)
Unit is focused on what makes a hero and how hero's make a difference, students will explore and learn about First Nations hero's, current events and roles heroes are playing in society.
Watch the following introductory read aloud which is a celebration of Indigenous Hero's titled "Go Show the World" written by Wab Kinew
This week we are focusing on solving equations using variables (Outcome P5.2)
What is a variable? A variable in math is our unknown. We usually represent this unknown with a letter or a symbol. For example, in the following equation, the variable is the letter c.
c + 2 = 5
c - 2 = 5 - 2
c = 3
I can check my answer by substituting my answer for the variable.
3 + 2 = 5
If I get the right answer, then I know the value of the variable.
We will continue with the Fatty Legs Novel with Chapter 7 and Pronouns. Then finishing off next week with the assignments of After the story and The Schools.
FATTY LEGS
Listen and watch Chapter 7, then do the assignment below.
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Pronouns are important in English. They are some of the first words we learn: I, you, he, she, it. There are different kinds of pronouns for different situations: subject pronouns, object pronouns, possessive pronouns, and reflexive pronouns. Instead of Sara, we can say she. Instead of those guys, we can say them. Instead of the sun, we can say it.
