What We Learned Today...December 6th

A screen shot from our practice Mystery Skype Session!

We started out our day with a half hour of AR time before we moved on to something the students we bugging me about all yesterday...our new seating plan!  After we finished AR, we adjusted the feng shui in our class by completing changing our seating plan around.  (A picture will be in tomorrows post)  We then spent the rest of the period working on creating "Thick" questions for our Mystery Skype next week. 
For Grade 8 Math, the students spent the hour working on their Unit Review and studying for our Unit Four Quiz tomorrow.  Remember to check out the Khan Academy website if you are having some trouble with percents.  These videos are very detailed and there is a video to go along with each of the areas in our unit.

After lunch we had Religion and we began to explore the theme of the second week of Advent, Peace.  The students watched several videos that explored the meaning of Peace or what life is like when peace is absent.  They were assigned a new Reflection Question on Peace on our Kidblog that will be due next Wednesday.  At 1:15 the students had Health and continued to work on their diet worksheet from last class.  During Social Studies, we ran a test run for our Mystery Skype session in the Library.  The students quickly got the library ready and got into their Mystery Skype group roles.  We then ran a test run by hooking up an iPad to the projector in the Library and connected it to my phone while I was in the next room.  The students did a great job and everything went smoothly, I am confident that they are going to do a great job next week when we do the real thing!
