What We Learned Today...December 13th

Today we had a shortened AR period because Mr. Meyers stopped by at 9:15 to give a guest lecture on Advent.  As always, Mr. Meyers was an absolute pleasure to have in our classroom and I know the students were happy to have him back again! He taught the students so much in such a short time.  Some of the topics he covered were: the advent calendar, the true meaning of the "12 days of Christmas", the tradition of boxing day and who Saint Nicholas actually was.  I know I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait until he comes back after Christmas!
In Grade 8 Math, the students were given the opportunity to re-write their quiz from last week.  Once they finished their re-write, they had an opportunity to study for their Unit 4 Exam tomorrow.  *Remember to fill out your study sheet and bring to class tomorrow!

After Lunch we had French and the students continued to work on their French Music Poster assignment.  Even though they are only beginning, I am really impressed with how creative the students are getting with this assignment.  At 1:15 Mr. McCulloch came by and taught Health and continued to teach about Calories and Dieting.  During the last hour of the day, the students learned about Digital Citizenship and being responsible members of the online community.

Here are some pictures from Mr. Meyers' visit today:
