Good morning Division 7,
Hope you are all well 🙂 Nice to connect with some of you yesterday.
Two things to discuss:
- IXL
- Learning Opportunities
1. IXL
There are some of you who are working on IXL for math. Unfortunately, the free trial for schools ended yesterday. I have gotten in touch with the district to see if we can get a class membership. I am currently waiting on a response and will keep you posted when I hear back.
2. Learning Opportunities
To-do:
* : hand-in
(extension): optionalPriorities:
a.) Morning Journal*
b.) Literacy *
c.) MathExtensions:
d.) Makers – habitat (optional)
e.) Genius Hour (optional)
Priorities
a.) Morning Journal *
Plant of the week: Columbia Lily
The Columbia Lily (sometimes known as Tiger Lily) is a native species to our region. They don’t like the shade very much so they often grow in pockets of the forest, meadow, or even roadside where there is sun exposure. Similar to the Trillium flower, the Columbia Lily seedling takes a long time be is able to grow flowers (several years), so don’t pick them, either! Once they flower, the lilies blossom every year in early summer.
Some sources say that the indigenous people of the region used the bulb of the plant as a starchy component to meals.
I recently found this particular lily while I was taking a stroll at Lighthouse Park. There was a large variety of flowers there!
- Morning Journal Question:
- What do you notice about the Columbia Lily?
- What do you think the function of each structure is?
- Why do you think the shape is the way it is?
- What questions do you have about the Columbia Lily?
b.) Literacy*
Please continue working on your “weird” animal research and villain character. Create a story once you finish your planning sheets.
Villain Character Planning Sheet
optional: comic template sheet
Refer to Monday’s “Week 8” blog for more information.
c.) Math
Please continue your math program.
Khan Academy, IXL, worksheets, etc.
If you would like support/guidance on a math program, please contact me
Extensions (optional)
d.) Makers
Planning sheet: Habitats
While researching and exploring your “weird” animal, consider it’s habitat. Please recreate your animal’s habitat. This may be done on paper or in a real-life structure form.
Consider the 3 essential components of a habitat:
- Food
- Water
- Shelter
How does the animal’s habitat provide these 3 components? Please describe and represent this (either in a drawing or structure form). You may also display this on a PowerPoint (or any other way you wish to explore).
e.) Genius Hour (optional)
Continue your Genius Hour project. You may want to focus on your “weird animal” this week. This is an ongoing project. If you have completed it or are just starting, here is the planning sheet to start a new inquiry: Genius Hour Planning Sheet
Follow these steps:
Brainstorm – what topics interest you? Write down topics that interest you (e.g. birds, palm trees, global warming, Jupiter, etc…). Select one to focus on this week.
Question – What deep questions do you wish to explore on your topic? (e.g. how do birds fly?)
Research – How are you going to find answers to your questions? With limited variety of resources, it will likely be online or an interview with an “expert” on the topic (perhaps family/friends).
Present – How are you going to share your knowledge? Please come up with a a way to briefly present your project. This may be through a speech, slideshow, poster, poem, comic, video, song, etc.
Share – Practice your presentation and share — either to me, family/friends, to the class during Sharing Circle.
Please follow the following planning sheet to guide you through your planning and research.
See you at 11 am,
Ms. Daneshwand
I notice that the Columbia Lily is kinda upside down. I think the Columbia Lilys structure is surrounded with grass, moss and some roots in soil to grow. The bees can get the pollen more easily.
I noticed that the Columbia lily has lots of little speckles and it’s a really nice orange colour. (I skipped the second one cause I didn’t get it) I think it’s shaped that was because it’s kinda hidden in the bush but it’s sticking out a bit and it need to be a special shape for the rain to water it? My question about the Columbia lily is where do u find these flowers?
I notices that it has brown spots all around the yellow leaves.
I think it look’s like a shower.
Why do the leaves have brown spots?
I think the function of the bulbs is to make flowers or fruit’s
☺😇✝
I noticed that the Columbia Lily has lots of brown spots on the petal. I also see that the shapes of the petal is curling upward. I think the reason why the Columbia Lily is upside down is because it grows better than growing upward. I wonder why the Columbia Lily has big brown seed hanging down in the middle. Thank you.

I noticed that the Columbia Lilly has lots of brown dots on it. I also noticed that the flower has really Curly petals. I wonder where you can find the Columbia Lilly and if there is so many in Burnaby left.😊🌼
Morning Journal Question:
What do you notice about the Columbia Lily?
It is a pretty Orange\yellow
What do you think the function of each structure is?
To make it pretty
Why do you think the shape is the way it is?
Because it looks like a loins Maine
What questions do you have about the Columbia Lily?
Why is it shaped like a loins Maine
I have the tiger lily in my garden and I noticed that the tiger lily has spots. And has curly petals
Why are the leaves have dots on it? I think the leaves curve up for bugs to live in it. It looks like it grows downwards because it is a heavy flower. It looks more like a vine. It’s a beautiful flower 🌹. I wonder if the flower is poisonous ☠️
I noticed the Columbia Lily has a lot of brown spots on its petals, flower has Carly pedals and it’s dangling.
I wonder where is the Columbia Lily found why is it dangling why do we have lots of spots brown spots why are the pedals curled why is the Columbia Lily’s name Columbia Lily 💮or tiger lily❓
I noticed the tiger lily has brown spots in the inside. I also noticed the flower is facing down. Maybe the flower is facing down because it is heavy. I also noticed that the flower is in a type of lion mane shape with the petals.
I think it looks old because it is hanging. It looks like a flower you cant have at home.
And maybe they have a ant on the flower. Maybe the flower is for the bees to make honey for us.
I think the shape is like that because it give the flower a chance to live a very long time.
I wonder if you can have the flower.
I wonder why it looks pretty.
I wonder if bees can have the flower to make honey for us.
