Day 167 - Hwk. First Nations Map(before Europeans arrived), probability quiz (see study sheet)

Today began with French and then we found out about Cinquains.

Here's how to write a Cinquain:
1st line: Noun (topic)
2nd line: two describing words that describe the topic
3rd line: three -ing verbs having to do with the topic
4th line: thoughts and information about the topic (about 4 words)
5th line: synonym to topic

Example:                          Energy
                             renewable, nonrenewable
                             using, conserving, wasting
                                 We must care more
                                          Power

So far for our Energy Poetry Anthology we have to have 2 Haikus, 2 Limericks, and 2 Cinquains. Tomorrow we will be working hard on this.

In computers the kids were working on an inquiry based research project based on the relationship between the First nations groups and the European explorers.

In math we challenged ourselves with more probability problems.

In social studies we used a map without a legend to map out the First Nations people groups before the European explorers came. We added our own legends and drew where they we located.
Here is the website to help finish that up: http://www.slmc.uottawa.ca/?q=first_languages

Be sure to really be specific about looking at this map and your own. Transfer it properly.

Have a great night!
