What We Learned Today....December 14th

In honour of Mr. McCullochs volleyball skills!

We started off our day a visit from Ms. Folk this morning, who was here to talk about the Battle of the Books club. Battle of the Books is a club where students are put into teams and are given a list of books to read.  The first team to have all the books on their list read wins.  This club is open to all students and is a great way to get involved in our school! 
Instead of ELA today, we had French to make up for some of the classes that were missed due to Mystery Skype practice.  Students continued to work on their French Music Poster assignment during this time.  In Grade 8 Math, students wrote their Unit 4 Exam, however not all students finished so they will have a chance to complete it on Monday. 

After lunch the students had Arts Ed with Ms. Norris and completed their 4th song critique.  At 1:15 Mr. Csada came and taught Science and continued to teach his unit on Optics and Vision.  During the last hour of the day, we had our annual Staff vs. Students Volleyball game. The students gave it everything they had but unfortunately it wasn't enough to overcome Mr. McCullochs spikes or Mr. Csada's taunting!

Note about Christmas Concert:
Since our class is not directly involved in the Christmas Concert on Thursday, the senior teachers have decided to donate our time and efforts into hosting the event.

The grade 6-8 students will be greeting, baking, decorating, etc. Some students have volunteered to be at the school the night of the concert.

If you would like to donate any baking or crafts to be sold in the gym, donations would be greatly appreciated. The grades will be getting a mark for Practical and Applied Arts for the baking that is done at school.Have a great weekend!
