In Math today students were very excited to start designing their signs for their businesses. We are creating a "Mini Mall". Students had to follow set criterial about their signs, making sure the perimeter of the sign was between 60cm and 114 cm, and that the lettering for their sign was between 5 cm and 10 cm in size.
Tomorrow students will gather pictures of the items they will be "selling" to their customers. The students will be responsible for accurately calculating the cost of the items that their customers will be purchasing by using multiplication.
One of our shopping criteria will be that customers need to by several of the same priced items. This activity will be based on play money there is no real money being used.
Wednesday morning we have a special presentation in the Learning Commons about building and testing designs. We will be thinking like engineers while we build and create! A big thank you to our volunteers that are coming to help on Wednesday. If you are volunteering please arrive to the school at 7:45 and go to the learning commons.
Canstruction
Evergreen School will be participating once again in the annual Canstruction® event in December for the Calgary Food Bank. A group of grade 4 students has taken on the challenge to think like engineers, designers, architects and builders to create an extraordinary structure all out of cans of food which, after judging, will be then de-canstructed, with all food going to the Calgary Food Bank.
This year’s theme is nature. The grade 4 design team has decided to extend their learning about the regions of Alberta and build a model of the Rocky Mountains. In order to make their vision come true, they are looking for canned and boxed food donations. Specifically, they are looking for:
· Catelli 500g spaghetti
· Blue menu cans (Superstore)
· Bottled water with blue lids
· Del Monte green cans
· Great Value white canned foods
· Clover Leaf Flaked White Tuna – black label
All food donations are gratefully accepted and can be dropped off at the school office anytime next week. Thank you for your support of this project which in turn will go to support needy Calgarians.
Have a wonderful evening!
