What We Learned Today... September 7th

Today we started off the morning with Religion and held an "I can't Funeral"  The students all wrote down things that they said they couldn't do and we collected them all together and held a funeral for them because the words "I can't" will no longer exist in Mr. Bresciani's class.  After Religion we spent the next hour in ELA working on our Personal Playlist Assignment. In Math, the Grade 8's learned about Proportions and how understanding Ratio's and Rates helps to solve Proportion problems. Students were assigned the 2.3 handout #s 1-7, 9, 11

After lunch we quickly reviewed the numbers 1-100 in French and then had a quick pop quiz.  In Social we discussed the "Crisis in Syria" and how it impacts us as citizens of Canada.  We also discussed the idea of standing up for what you believe in and what we thought inspired the teenagers in Syria to stand up and take a stand.

It's been a great first week of school and I'm a little disappointed it's the weekend already.  (Although the students may not feel the same way!)

Reminders for next week:

-Bring back all signed forms (including the procedures handout)
-Make sure you have indoor runners
-Boys Football has a home game at 3:45 on Monday. (Game should be over by 4:45)
-Grade 8 Math Pg. 51 and Pg. 59 is due on Monday.

Have a good Weekend!
