What We Learned Today...December 10th

Our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree thanks to Lundy!

We started out the morning with our usual Accelerated Reader period until 9:30.  In ELA the students put their inference skills to work once again and read the story "The Hermits Secret".  They were tasked with answering inferencing-centered questions before, during and after reading the story.  Tomorrow we will be investigating one of my personal favourite mysteries, "The Mystery of Oak Island" or better known as "The Money Pit"!.  Make sure you're here tomorrow when we research and using our inferencing skills to try and solve this mystery!!
Since today was Day 1, the students didn't have their usual Math class, but instead had Phys. Ed with Ms. Norris.

After Lunch we went to the gym to celebreate the second week of Advent and it's meaning, Peace.  Ms. Wiley's class did a wonderful job putting together another great liturgy, so a special thank you to them for all their hard work! 
Once we arrived back after the Liturgy, the students had Health with Mr. McCulloch and worked on their assignment, "How Diets Work".  (This assignment is due Thursday).  During the final hour of the school day, we had one last Mystery Skype practice session in the Library.  As I said last week, I can't wait until tomorrow.  I am confident the students will do a wonderful job and will represent our classroom in the best way possible!
