What We Learned Today...January 17th

Practicing Mystery Skype in the Library

This morning we had our usual AR period before moving moving on to ELA.  In ELA, the students continued to record and edit their rants in Garageband.  Since we only have two school iPads, students took turns recording and editing while the rest of the class watched the movie, The Goonies, which tied into our Mystery Unit.  Students rant podcasts are coming along quite nicely and will sound awesome once we put them all together next week!
In Phys. Ed Ms. Norris continued to have the students perform their Space Jam Dance as well as some basketball drills. 

In Religion students continued to work on their "What's in a Name" blog post.  These blogs will be due on Monday, January 21st so we can move on to the next part of the assignment.  At 1:15 Mr. McCulloch came in to teach Health and the students continued to present their Diet Power Points. 
During the last hour of the day we spent the hour in the Library practicing for our Mystery Skype next week.  We were even lucky enough to compete against Ms. Wiebe and a few students in the office. 

Here's some more pictures from today:
