Entry for Friday, May 29
Today in History
Today in history, May 29, 1935, the first humans managed to climb to the top of the world, Mount Everest.
Mount Everest rises 8 848m above sea level. That is 29 029 feet high! You can begin you ascent (climb) of the mountain in one of two countries, Nepal or Tibet.
Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norway were the first two humans to reach the summit of Everest. These period photos capture their exuberance (joy) shortly following the both of them standing on the mountain peak.
The clothing they equipment they wore sure looks "old fashioned" from our standpoint in 2020!
Expedition leader, John Hunt, looks on as Tenzing Norway and Edmund Hillary pose for photos.
In the 1800's the mountain was named after Sir George Everest who at one time was the British surveyor general of India. It is known that George Everest was uncomfortable in having such a magnificent mountain named after him!
"It must be really challenging climbing tall mountains," she thinks to herself.

Language Learning
We finish off our unit on Fables with two more today. Let it be known that we have only read the "Tip of the Iceberg" where Aesop's Fables are concerned. Yes, there are so many more that you can research on your own!

Yes, you should listen to warnings from those who mean well. Listen to your parents, your teachers and your closest of friends and you will live a safe and good life!
Your Reading Task
For today, your task is to write these three examples of quotations below as special notes for yourself.
(Notice how Mr. Hamer put the direct quotes in blue to make it easier for you to see them.)
Then...create your own sentence about what a person said and rewrite the sentence using quotation marks.
With the notes and your own two sentences means that you are printing eight sentences in all.
Quotations
Mr. Hamer said that he would give us a sticker.
Mr. Hamer said, "I will give you a sticker."
Mme Pepe told us to put our French folders away.
"Put your French folders away!" Mme Pepe told us.
The boy announced to the class that he really loves recess.
"I really love recess!" the boy announced to the class.
"We're going to miss all of those fables, Mr. Hamer," she says with a big smile.

Math Learning
Your Math Task
Use a Calculator
Yes, ask your parents to show you how to add numbers with decimals on a calculator. This will help you find the "total cost" or "total price" of each pair of items.
You can either make a quick drawing of each pair of items along with the price tag and then give the total cost.
...or...
You can simply print the name of each item with it's price and add the two items up to find their total cost.

"We love learning about money and doing puzzles!" they all announce at the same time.
Student Sharing
Yes, it was hot outside on a few of the days this week, so this young fellow took advantage of his swimming pool to cool down. Looks like a ton of fun!
Then his family took a lovely drive down to the St. Lawrence River where he had the opportunity to swim in this great body of water. His mom tells us that the trees off on the distant shoreline are in the United States.
His family originally wanted to go to Chrysler Park near Upper Canada Village but the area was not yet open, so they drove a little further to Morrison Island where he swam in the river. Great pictures, I.Z.
This young lady sent me in her French and Language work from yesterday. Great job on those quotation notes, C.C.
Enjoy your upcoming weekend as we leave with ways we can pray. We will see everyone next month!
Have a safe and joy filled weekend everyone!
