Dear Parents and students

I hope that you are all well. 

Math- I would love to see you all working on Dreambox for at least 20 minutes a day. If you have any problems send me a message at marielouise.squire@nbed.nb.ca

For a no-tech math experience why not play a game of Go fish for 10. We all know how to play Go Fish, but in this version you ask for a card that will add up to 10, with a card you have in your hand. Aces are worth 1, and remove face cards. This is an easy game but a nice distraction from the usual Go Fish. This is also good practice for addition for your younger siblings. 

Did you try the problem of the week from last week? If not, I am including the question with the answer. I am also including a new question, Mr. Richard is going to love this one. It relates to basketball. If you would like to send me your solutions that would be great. I'd love to hear from you.

Science- Well this is the last week I think for the birds website. Go to https://www.birds.cornell.edu/k12/science-nature-activities-for-cooped-u... and look for week 8: Earth Expedition. This slideshow will take you on a world tour about birds without leaving the safety of your home. Some great videos to watch and neat activities. 

The new STEM flyer is included. This week we are purifying water. If you were a member of my Design Block you have a very good idea of how to do this. Remember not to drink your purified water. You have no way to test it. It is a fun activity to try out with the materials you have around your home. Remember, I'd love to see how you make out. Send me your pictures at https://www.facebook.com/stem.squire.3 or to my email.

Remember cooking is a great way to practice some Math and Science all at the same time. Always ask permission first, as the oven gets extremely hot.
