What We Learned Today...September 21st

Today seemed to go by incredibly fast, which makes sense because the year also seems to be flying by.  (Can you believe we are almost 10% done the school year already?) During ELA today we continued to learn about Craig Keilburger and how he "stepped up" through creating the Free the Children movement at the age of 12.  We watched an interview with Craig and Mark Keilburger and responded to the prompts on the handout.  If you have lost a handout or would like to type your answers up on the computer, you can get a copy here. 
In Math the Grade 8's moved on to Unit 3 and began to learn about Squares and Square roots, while the Grade 7's continued to review Coordinates and Design. 

After Lunch students had the full half hour to finish up their introductory French conversations and rehearse for next class.  (Remember these converations are due next class, Wednesday, September 26th).  During the last hour we had a very special assembly to kick off AR for the year.  The students were treated to some special guests as well as some of the most magnificient, Academy Award winning acting in years.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you on Tuesday because there is NO SCHOOL on Monday!.  Enjoy the long weekend.
