What We Learned Today...December 12th

Diagram of the Money Pit

After our AR period this morning we moved straight into ELA and continued to learn about The Money Pit and the Mystery of Oak Island.  We watched the documentary "Encounters with the Unexplained: The Mystery of Oak Island" and the students were tasked with writing a response about who they believe created the pit and what lies at the bottom.  We will continue to look at this Mystery on Friday and we may even look at the novel "The Money Pit Mystery" by Eric Walters. 
In Grade 8 Math we continued to review Chapter 4 and the students were assigned the practice test to help prepare them for their exam on Friday. 

After Lunch we had French and the students were assigned their mid unit assignment.  Students will need to create a poster or album cover on their favourite artist and include numerous facts about the Artist in French.  You can check out the assignment here.
 At 1:15 Mr. Csada came in and taught Science until 2:15.  Then at 2:30 Ms. Norris came to teach Arts. Ed and the students continued to work on their Social Justice Drawing assignment.
