Kim's Pay it Forward

PART 1:

Watching "Pay it Forward" helped me realized
that I can change the world by helping others in need.
It showed me that you can help by not just thinking
of yourself, but thinking of others as well. Assisting
others who are in need of food is a great example of
being thoughtful and kind.



PART 2:

1-What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?

For our Pay it forward project, we went to the Children's

Hospital to donate toys, books, and goody bags that we made.

2-Why did you choose this activity?
We chose this activity because we thought that giving stuff to
the kids would help them cheer up for the season.

3-Who did you help?
We helped the children in the Childrens hospital.

4-What did you do?
We did it by shopping for varieties of toys and putting them in
small bags, we separated the girls and the boys. We also looked
for toys from home that we don't use anymore and we added
them as part of our donation.

5-When did you do you act of kindness?
We did it on a Monday afternoon.

PART 3:

1-How did your act of kindness go?
When we went to the Children's Hospital, it all went well.

2-What Happened?
While we were at the hospital we asked the lady who worked at the
front desk, we asked her where we can give our donation
for the children.

3-How did you feel?
Being there made me feel good by giving
donations to the kids.

4-How did the person or people react?
While we were talking to the lady,
she was delighted that we were giving stuff to the kids, she also
looked surprised and showed a lot of appreciation.

5-Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?
We didn't get to tell the lady to pay it forward because we forgot,
our minds were overjoyed with the thought of helping
kids who are in the hospital because we know that it would make them happy.


PART 4:

Triangles



Today we learn about triangles.

What is a Triangle

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments
This is a picture of a Triangle.

The two short sides are called leg.

The longest side is called the hypotenuse.

And you think that the sides of that triangle is equal.

I say no because only some combination of side will be produce right triangles.

Winnipeg Harvest

Winnipeg Harvest

What is Winnipeg Harvest ?

Winnipeg Harvest is a place where all sorts of food is brought in then brought out. Brought in meaning that all sorts of food comes in from alot of different people as donations, there they sort them into their own categories, and then packed into groups of four (rice/pasta, proteins, etc). Then brought out means, once its sorted out it then gets delivered to many different places.

DID YOU KNOW THAT ?

That winnipeg harvest helps approximately 4000 people a month from all different places. That would be 40 local schools in winnipeg containing 1000 people.

Why is Winnipeg Harvest so important ?

It is important because it's a place where they want to stop people from hunger, with the basic food needs daily.

What did we do ?

Along with Camille, Alex , Brayden and Mr. Harbeck we were packing plastic bags containing four different types of foods. Once they were packed Mr.Harbeck was then putting them in bigger bags containing seven of those.

Volunteering at winnipeg harvest was a fundimental experience. Also the other volunteers treated us as if we've been there for a long time. We met a few people individually one of them was Kate who explained to what what winnipeg harvest is and also a man named Nick who came to us and helped us pack, but there was more I apologize for not mentioning them excactly. I was shocked to see the poster of where they delivered food, and where the other food banks were located because trust me , its ALOT . Guess what ? After working we also got a break time , we got to drink hot chocolate it was yum :) . So on behalf of us four we thank you Mr.Harbeck and to the Winnipeg Harvest for giving us the previlage to learn and see what its like volunteering there .

Winnipeg Harvest

What is Winnipeg Harvest?

Winnipeg harvest is a place where a lot of the food that goes to homeless shelters like Shalom mission comes from. There are Winnipeg harvest buildings all around Winnipeg, they ship food to food banks and other places. Anyone can get food from a food bank, all you have to do is make an appointment so they no how much the place needs.

What we did There?

Brayden, Jem, Camille and I put food into plastic bags, while Harbeck put 7 of them into a large rice bag, in the bags there was rice/pasta, proteins such as beans or canned fish, canned soup, and canned vegetables. Now it's not as easy as it sounds because we had to take some boxes, either 1(grains), 2(protein), 3(vegetables), and 4 (soup), those boxes when full weighed about 15-20 pounds I guess and we could go through those boxes really fast.

Why is Winnipeg Harvest so Important?

Winnipeg harvest feeds over 40,000 people a month that's about the same amount of people in Brandon, or 40 of our schools. There are a lot of people there that sacrifice their own time to help others, I think about 100 people work there everyday. Winnipeg harvest has been around for about 25 years and has been constantly increasing the amount of people they been helping, hopefully they will continue helping for years to come

It was really fun being at Winnipeg harvest and I learned some interesting things. Everyone there was very helpful and when we were making the food bags some people came to help us, like Camille said there was a person named Nick and 2 other people, i don't know the other peoples names because they didn't have name tags. Also when we managed to finish all the boxes of one category we got a break all of (except Harbeck) had hot chocolate thought Camille took long drinking hers saying it was hot. There was supposed to be some pictures but there aren't any.

Thank you Harbeck for taking us there I had an enjoyable experience. It would be great to go there again. If you want to learn anything more go to www.winnipegharvest.org.

Winnipeg Harvest

What is Winnipeg Harvest ?

Its a warehouse were people donate food, and volunteers sort them out and put them into boxes and the drivers drive the food to food banks around Winnipeg.

What did we do there ?

Alex,Brayden,Jem and I and Mr. Harbeck were packing non perishable food items into a plastic bag. In each bag we put four items that contains grains,vegetables, and soup. After we put these items in to the bags, we get a bigger bag and we put seven littler bags into it.

Why is Winnipeg Harvest so important ?

Winnipeg harvest is very important because they support food items for people who have nothing to eat. And they work very, very hard to supply people food.

Winnipeg Harvest was a very fun and interesting experience. It helped me learn more about what they do there and how they help people. The volunteers and workers were very nice to us. Kate told us how they deliver the food items to the food banks. Also a nice man Nick, helped us tie the bags together. There were more nice people that helped us. They were very nice to us. Its like a second home to these volunteers and workers. We even got to have a break, and have some nice and warm hot chocolate. We took some pictures there but i didnt put it on this post because when i checked the SP blog it wasnt there. So if you would like to see the pictures it could be seen at the sargent park blog.

Thank you Mr. Harbeck for taking us there. I had such a fun time and an amazing experience. I would love to go there again if possible. THANK YOU !


ps. if you would like to volunteer you should visit the site www.winnipegharvest.com you'd have a fun and amazing time.

Thank you for reading my post ! bye ! (:

Questions : Estimating Square Roots 12.07.09

3 Questions

5. Estimate each value, to one decimal place. Check your answer with a calculator.

a) square root of 14

My guess was 3.7 and when I checked the calculator, its 3.7. I found my answer using a number line.

_9_-> 14 <- _16_
3 4


b) square root of 86

My guess was 9.3 and when I checked it on the calculator it was 9.2.

_81_-> 86 <- _100_
9 10


c) square root of 136

My guess was 11.8 and when I checked it on the calculator it was 11.6.


_121_-> 136 <- _144_
11 12

12. While shopping online, ji Hon finds a square rug with an area of 11m2. He needs to know if it will fit in his 4m x 5m bedroom.

a) Estimate the side length of the rug, to one decimal place.

3.2m

b) check your estimate with a calculator.

3.3m

c) Will the rug fit? Explain.

Yes, the rug will fit in his room because the side lengths of his room is 4m x 5m, that would equals 20m2 and the rug's side length is 3.3m x 3.3m, that would equal to 11m2. The are of his room is greater than the area of the rug.

14. Alex is thinking of a number. The number has a square root between 7 and 8 and it is a multiple of 12.

a) What number could he be thinking of?

60

b) Is there more than one answer? Explain,

I dont think so. I think the answer is only 60because 60 is the only number that is a multiple of 12 that have a square root between 7 and 8.
