What We Learned Today...September 17

Today we started out the week with another great assembly in the gym first thing this morning.  After our assembly we had a quick 15 minutes of AR time before moving on to everyone's favourite part of their morning...RAD testing.  During ELA the grade 7 and 8's read through a different non-fiction passage (depending on what grade they are in) and then were asked to answer written questions about the literature in an accompanying handout. During Math the Grade 8's went over their quizzes from last week and spent the rest of the class reviewing and practicing for our Unit Test on Wednesday.

After lunch for Arts. Ed Ms. Norris continued teaching about art as well as how our brain works and perceives things.  In Science Mr. Csada continued from last and taught the students all about Optics and Vision.  Unfortunately during social we were unable to get on the Laptops so we had to postpone our technology integrated lesson until later in the week and instead learned all about the Mars Rover Curiousity landing.
