What We Learned Today...November 9th

Taking time to pose in Phys. Ed

Today we started out the morning with a shortened AR period before moving to French.  In French we examined how important a role music plays in our everyday lives. Students brainstormed a list of places and events where we typically hear music. (The car, school, sport events, waiting rooms etc.) Then we began to learn about the different Genres of music in French by listening to various artists and examing the particular instruments and style demonstrated in each song. 
In Grade 8 Math we continued to work on Representing Percents and students continued to work on Pg. 128.  (This assignment is due on Tuesday) and some students actually began working on the 4.1 Math handout. 

After Lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Breitkreuz (Ms. Norris was away in meetings) and continued to work on their shading assignments.  Instead of ELA today, students were given the hour to continue to work on their Saint Poster assignment for Religion.  (I have not yet given a due date for this assignment because I would like to give the students more class time to work on it) For the last hour of the day the students had Ms. Breitkreuz once again but this time for Phys.Ed.  They spent the hour participating in Physical Activity stations and then a big game of Benchball to end the day.
