What does an equal sign really mean?

Can 42 = 6 x 7?

Can 6 x 7 = 31 + 11?

What about 20 - 5 = 10 + 3?

Keystone Species Using the Access Lenses

 The Access Lenses are a tool we can use to understand media from art to books to non-fiction articles even videos.  They help us make connections and develop an understanding of what we have read.  We used them to begin to look at Keystone Species- starting with The Smartest Thin in Fur Pants.










To the left are the Access Lenses we used to look at this video.  We noticed a lot of colours and we're developing skill in what these lenses look like when applying to different media.

Hedgehog Update

Sonic is safe and sound.  He was found just after 3:10pm, curled up in a pair of snow pants.  Thank you to all the students and teachers who supported the search.  Sonic was happy to return to his cage; enjoy some tasty mealworms and curl up on his heating pad.
