What We Learned Today...December 18th

Their Baking Christmas Card

We started the morning out with are usual AR period today before on to our Mini Minga activity from yesterday.  Students did an awesome job with this project and ended up making over 100 bags of "Hot Chocolate in a Bag" to be sold at the Christmas in a Bag.  At 10:00 we cleaned up all our supplies and moved on to ELA.  For their assignment today, the students were put into groups of 6 and were given clues to another Murder Mystery.  Using the clues they were given in their groups, they had to work together and use their inferencing skills to try and solve the Mystery first.
After recess the grade 8's got the opportunity to do some more baking for our Mini Minga group.  The students were broken up into 5 groups and each group was responsible for baking one box of cupcakes.  I was impressed with how well each group did, especially some of the students who had never baked before.  While there were some causalities as a result of our baking today (That poor Whisk....Brian) everything ran smooth and the students made a ton of cupcakes.  Tomorrow we will decorate them and get them ready to sell at the Christmas Concert. 

After Lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their music responses.  In French the students had the hour to work on their French Music Assignment.  These assignments are coming along quite nicely and will look great when they are all completed!  During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their Dances.  Sorry no pictures of their dance today, although I heard there were some pretty good ones!
