What We Learned Today...January 7th

Going Retro! Playing some DDR during recess.

Our class was quite a bit smaller this morning due to the fact that the Grade 7's were off Cross Country Skiing with Ms. Norris and Mr. McCulloch.  We began our morning with a school wide assembly before having a half hour AR period.  During ELA the Grade 8's had a work period they could use to catch up on any overdue assignments or get a jump on some that are due soon. 
In Grade 8 Math we quickly reviewed viewing three-dimensional objects and students were assigned page 168.  (See below for full assignment)

After lunch students continued to work on their album cover assignment in French.  Note: This assignment is due on January 17th.  In Science the students watched an interesting powerpoint Mr. Csada put together about Light.  Mr. Csada has informed me that there will be a unit test coming up sometime near the end of January - I will post the exact date once it is confirmed.  For the last hour of the day the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their Social Justice Drawing assignments.
