Happy New School Year!

Welcome back boys and girls! Summer vacation is now over and we're off to a great new start for the new academic year. I want to wish you all the best to a great year of learning. We will have fun and I look forward to being with the 2009-10 Grade 5 Graduating Class!

About Me

My photo
Markham, Ontario, Canada
[School] I am a grade 5 teacher at Randall Public School. I enjoy my job and adopt a work hard play hard mentality. Laughter in my classroom is my secret weapon to learning. I know what it was like growing up in elementary school. I had teachers that would give me a hard time for simply being a kid. Well in my class, I believe in reality based teaching. You can be yourself in my class as long as you do the work...it's that simple. [Personal life] I love watching DVD's in my spare time, training Martial arts, and lifting weights to stay in shape. I eat healthy and enjoy laughing. Walmart and No-frills are my favorite stores. I love watching action and comedy movies. Reading non-fiction books is also a passtime of mine. I enjoy expressing myself in writing and look forward to maintaining this blog.

    A probability fraction is a fraction which represents the outcome of an event. The numerator is the outcome, and the demoninator is the number of possible outcomes. Anson

    Well Mr.Hanson the probability fraction is like income and outcome machine for example: 1 over 2, the 1 is the income and the 2 is the outcome

    SCIENCE REVIEW TIPS!!
    - study all your diagrams..inside and out...cover up some parts and see if you can guess what they are
    - Study the digestive system sheets and be prepared to summarize the digestive system steps in your own words.
    - Be prepared to infer an answer based on what you know about the digestive system...this will be a situation question involving our classmates...this will be a toughy! MUAAAHHHAAAA....evil laugh! Study hard tonite!

    Good luck, and try not to be attacked by the Lazibumeritis bug ok!!

    Peace out!

    Mr.Hanson, I think that probability fraction is that the # of desrit out comes divided the # of possible out comes. Tiger Wu

    For our Math Test tommorow:...
    - what are some ways we talk about probablilty?
    - Lesson 1 is something to review...hehehe...
    - Practice question: There is a colored spinner that is divided up into 10 parts. 2 parts are blue, 3 parts are green, 1 part is purple, and 4 parts are black.
    a) what is the probability of spinning each color? How do you know?
    b) which color has a greater chance of being spun? How do you know?

    - If I toss a coin 10 times and get: 2 heads and 8 tails. Are these results what you expected? Explain?

    Smit, if you have my speech step by step package, then all you need to do is follow that. If not, then, this is what you need to do:

    1. Introduction/catchy opening(8-10 sentences)
    2. 4-6 subtopic paragraphs (8-10 sentences)
    3. Conclusion (8-10 sentences): sum up what you talked about in a few sentences, then in the remaining, put a personal touch (comment, question, prediction, questions, thoughts, advice etc.)

    Smit, make sure your speech is 3-5 minutes long.

    Blog me some more if you like.

    thank you mr hanson now i will start but can you post up tips?

  21. Mr.HansonMay 29, 2009 at 10:58 PM

    Matthew, you might as well start memorizing, it will only improve your inclass performance, and increase the likelihood of you making the cut. Face it, memorizing will improve your game anyway for your inclass speech...everyone should do this.

    Smit...speech tips....do you have my handout on speeches or did you leave it in class?

    No, don't mention references in your speech, just save that for the written part.

    i think that memorizing the whole speech might be a little hard.but i will try my best to memorize all of it. i will try to do the speak and look down and read ahead.but i am scared that i will mess up while i am saying the speech or when i am trying to read ahead.

    Mr H,
    For my speech, I'm going to fix my mistakes but is it ok if I dont rewrite. I will just add on blank paper then when you think it's ok. Then I will write my final good copy.
    Matthew D

  29. Mr.HansonJune 3, 2009 at 10:18 PM

    Matthew, sure, write it separately, then do a final copy.
