1. Math - Budget homework below

2.  The New Horizon

The Scenario: The year is 1534. After weeks at sea with nothing but the taste of salt and the sound of creaking wood, your ship finally reaches a rugged, green coastline. You are one of the first European explorers to set foot on this land (what we now call Canada).

Your Task: Write a journal entry (7–10 sentences) describing your first 24 hours. As you write, consider the following:

• The Land: What does the air smell like? Describe the scale of the forests, the clarity of the water, or the animals you see that you’ve never encountered in Europe.

• The People: You encounter a group of Indigenous people. Instead of focusing on conflict, describe their technology and lifestyle—how are their homes built? How do they dress to suit this specific environment?

• The Atmosphere: How does the "life" here feel different from the crowded, noisy cities you left behind?
