What We Learned Today...January 4th



Working hard on their French assignment!

Today we got back into our usual rhythm and began the morning with a half hour of AR time.  After AR we moved on to ELA and continued working on response questions from the rant the students read yesterday about Veronica Mars.  Students then brainstormed possible topics for rants of their own and may even have the chance to write and perform them next week.  In Grade 8 Math we began our new Surface Area unit by learning about the views of three-dimensional objects. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their Social Justice drawing assignment from last year.  In French the students continued to work on their Album Cover assignment.  Note: This will be due on Thursday, January 17th.
During the last hour of the day the students were once again with Ms. Norris for Phys. Ed and they took turns performing their dances for the rest of the class.

Here's some more pictures of our classes hard work during French:
