What IS Remembrance Day?

Remembrance Day was originally called Armistice Day or in some countries Vetrans Day, ANZAC, Jour de Souvenir, etc. and is observed on the 11th day of the 11th month, November 11th in many countries around the world. At the 11th hour on this day, we pause to remember the brave soldiers who fought and died.
This date and time marks the moment that World War I ended.  We pause in this moment to remember the fighting and loss which paid the price for freedom, democracy, liberty and justice.   We hold hope that we do not repeat this sorts of events again and hold our liberties dear in honor of those that laid down their lives for their country.

PROBABILITY- MATH LESSON

Hey kids,
  We have a new topic... PROBABILITY! What does that mean?

Probability is the chance that something will happen, or how likely it is that an event will occur. When we toss a coin in the air, we use the word probability to refer to how likely it is that the coin will land with head's side up.

ART HISTORY- ART MOVEMENTS

Image result for simple art history timeline
Hi kids,
  Our new unit of inquiry requires us to explore the world of art far and wide, from past to present.
After brainstorming in the class with your friends we have discovered many different ways in which humans express themselves.
Here were some of your thoughts.


We started our exploration during the last unit in 1800´s France, Impressionism. 

We will ask you to explore many different art movements (LOI1).

While gaining information and reviewing the facts, historical and geographical connections we ask that you try to idenify any elements that connect with how you personally express yourself- this will help you to prepare for an upcoming art project for LOI3. 
Also, reflect on why you feel connected?  
Consider your family heritage, your life experiences, etc.
Please use the following guide below to assist your inquiry and be sure to share any interesting finds with us in class.

Art Movements
(Here are some of the art movements you should become familiar with.  Please consider time, place, who, characteristics and any famous works.) 
Prehistoric
Egyptian
Greek
Roman
Byzantine
Renaissance
Celtic
Baroque
Romanticism
Modern Art
Contemporary Art
Impressionism 
Post Impressionism
Fauvism
Expressionism
Cubism
Surrealism
Optic Art
Pop Art
Abstract
And many,many more...

Here is a table we used in class... feel free to use this to help you gather your findings.
(Click on the link below for your assignment.)
Kids, due to unforeseen circumstances we have not been able to attend classes therefore we have missed crucial time which would have been designated to concluding our art history and creative lessons.
 We are asking for your cooperation in completing this activity during the week to hand in on Monday as we are leading up to the end of our school year.
  1. Finish your research (so you can do your own work)
  2. Select a movement or a mix of components which you think will help you express yourself.
  3. Create a work that demonstrates all of the characteristics you believe best shows your artistic expression (very personal). 
  4.  Reflection- upon finishing you must connect your product with the 3 LOI ́s while mentioning which attributes of the learner profile you focused on.

UOI5- LOI 1 (Historical connection)
Before selecting how you will portray your image (SELF PORTRAIT) you must first inquire about a minimum of 3-5 different styles of art including…
Type-period of art(Visit Blog for complete list)
Time- Where and when did it exist?
Style or characteristics
Famous artists or work
Personal notes
Example- Impressionism
1800 ́s France
Short strokes, use of light, mainly outdoors, oil paint
Van Gogh, Manet, Monet, Renoir.
Initially was regarded as poor art- did not meet the high French standards of that time. 
Byzantine (pictures and architecture)

4th century, Italy
Religious, spiritual, symbolizes a rich culture, mosaics, frescoes… 
It was painted with gold.

Jesus mosaic
̈ The goal was to create a sense of heaven on Earth.¨

How to solve Area of Tirangles? (GEOMETRY)

Hey kids,
We are moving beyond calculating area and perimeter of squares, rectangles, parallellograms, and right triangles. Our next task is to to try solve acute and obtuse triuangles as well.
  Take a look at the following videos and lets see what we can do!

If I want to solve the area of this Right triangle, I can solve the rectangle first and then divide it equally in 2 parts.
Here was are looking at another type of triangle.
Take a look at the videos to realize why this formula works.
 If you are still in doubt, lets cut out some shapes until we can visualize this ourselves.
