Hi guys

I hope you are all well and healthy. This week won't be as hot as last week so we might get a bit more done.

Math- You should all be working on Dream Box if you have access to the internet and a device. This would be time well spent. At least 20-25 minutes a day would be ideal.

I have uploaded the last Problem of the Week. Give it a try. I have also uploaded the answer to last weeks problem.

For a no-tech option how about playing a game of Cheat. See the following link for instructions. It can be played by two or more players. Great for the whole family. Have some fun together. https://www.kidspot.com.au/things-to-do/activity-articles/cheat/news-sto...

Science- The new ASD-N flyer has been included. This week we are cooking. I have enclosed a recipe for Cinnamon Roll Cake in case you cannot access any recipes. You will never make cinnamon buns again after you taste this. Even Mrs. Cabel could make these. Ha

This weeks class assignment is to make Fibonacci Lemonade. I thought we would try something fun and do a little Mathematical Cuisine. I have uploaded the recipe and the website in case you want to try. I had lots of fun making this and it tasted really good. I think I will do it over the summer again. Great surprise for all. It combines Math and Science. http://blog.andreahawksley.com/fibonacci-lemonade/

Fibonacci sequence is a set of numbers where the third number is the sum of the first two numbers. The fourth number is the sum of the second and third numbers, and so on. For example: 0, 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 Who knew this sequence could make a really cool looking lemonade.

Check out the photo I have include of how mine looked. Send me a picture of how you made out with your Fibonacci Lemonade.

Well everyone hope you have a great week and give these activities a try. Learning is everywhere. Math and Science are in most things we do.

Hi friends

I hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready to do some home learning. With the nice weather that is coming this week, get up and do some work early so that you have the rest of the day to yourself.

Math- Dreambox is your go-to for Math. At this point you should be doing about 25-30 minutes a day. If you run into problems or have any questions let me know. I will do my best to help you out. Remember to finish one lesson before you move on to another. 

Did you try out last week's problem of the week? If not I've enclosed the question and the answer. I've also uploaded a new question for you to work on. Have some fun and give them a try.

For a no-tech required math practice how about a game of 21.

Object: be the closest to 21 without going over! Each player is dealt two cards to start. Each player has the option to take another card to attempt to improve their hand to the number 21. If they go over or “bust” they get 0 points. If they are the closest to 21 without going over, they get 1 point. If there is a tie, all the players that are tied get 1 point. If they get 21 on the first 2 cards dealt, they get 2 points. The first player to 10 points wins.

Science- the new STEM flyer for ASD-N is ready. Please see the enclosed upload. This week it involves making a Rube Goldberg machine. You can construct one outside or inside. Take a look at how it is done. Get your siblings and friends involved in making one. Only your imagination will limit you.

If you are interested in building things. I thought that this week you could try to make a box that could keep a can or juice box cold(no ice). Use materials you have on hand at home. Look around you will be surprised what you can use. Newspaper is wonderful insulation. You can use this website as a starting guide. https://sciencing.com/make-own-cooler-science-project-6703910.html 

You may not have all the materials they use but improvise. Have some fun and send me your photos of how you made out. 

Have a great week of Learning. Miss you all.

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. 

Students and Parents-

I hope you had a great week of learning opportunities.

Math- I see many of you have been spending time on Dreambox. Bravo. Continue to work on it every day. 15-20 minutes would be great. If you experience difficulty send me a message and I can help you out. My email is marielouise.squire@nbed.nb.ca

If you get tired of doing Dreambox take a break and practice some times tables. Make yourself a test and see how well you can do. 

Did you try out the Problem of the week from last week? I am enclosing the question and the answer. I have also included a new question for this week. Can you do it? Give it a try. 

Science- This week at https://www.birds.cornell.edu/k12/science-nature-activities-for-cooped-u... they are looking at Flight and Migration. Take a look at the slideshow. It contains some cool videos on how birds fly and why other animals cannot. They also explore other animals that can fly. I must say this week's slideshow is perhaps one of the best so far. Especially if you are interested in flight and migration.

If birds are not your thing you could do the suggested activities from the ASD-N stem team. See the enclosed flyer. This week it is all about upcycling. Take something in your recycling or trash and make something useful.

As always let me know the results of any activity you have been doing. I can post them on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/stem.squire.3  

I hope that you all have a marvelous week of learning. Remember anything you do is learning, from cooking to cleaning and helping out around the house. Take care.
