What We Learned Today...January 29th

Taking a second to pose during Cross Country Skiing.

This morning we began our day differently than we have in the past.  Instead of our usual half-hour AR period, we started right with the "Daily Five" stations and incorporated AR time into one of the stations.  Students rotated stations every 20 minutes between Silent Reading, Word Work, Spelling & Grammar and Creative Writing. 
In Grade 8 Math the students continued to work on their assignment from Pg. 186 in the textbook.  Students who finished early got a chance to work ahead on their handout for tomorrows class and some even began testing out IXL.com for some extra practice.  *All Grade 8 students have been given their user names and passwords and are now able to log on to IXL and check it out.  Grade 7's will be given their user names and passwords tomorrow.

After lunch the Grade 8's went to work with Mr. Csada while the Grade 7's went cross-country skiing for the afternoon.  I got the chance to go with the Grade 7's so I took some pictures from our adventurous afternoon that you can see below!
