Science
Today we continued our discussion of mining. We defined surface and underground mining and the costs and benefits of mining. Please complete the Exploration Questions on page 28 of your textbook. You may write in point form.
If you are having difficulty determining what type of mining is used to mine the mineral and rocks on your handout, do a Google search and click images. From the pictures identify the type of mining:

Types of Surface Mining:

• Strip Mining e.g. coal
• Open Pit Mining e.g. quarries
• Mountain top removal
• Dredging (when minerals are deposited in water)

Types of Underground Mining:

• Room and Pillar
• Shaft Mining
• Drift Mining

These are a little more complicated so just write underground if you're not sure.

Math
If your Science takes a long time complete your booklet tomorrow. Remember upcoming test next Tuesday. PLEASE REVIEW POSTED QUESTIONS CAREFULLY.

Share with a parent the story "The Fence". What were some of the messages we discussed in class?

The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

 The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

 Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”
