What We Learned Today...February 11th

Working on monster bookmarks with their little buddies!

We began our week off with a great school wide assembly in the gym this morning before heading back to the classroom.  However our stay was very breif because at 9:30 we went straight to Ms. Wiley's class to work with our little buddies.  Once we arrived, the Grade7/8's found their little buddies and began working with them on creating Monster Bookmarks for their books.  I was quite impressed with how great of a job the little buddies and their big buddies did with this activity; the Monsters looked awesome! 
In Grade 8 Math the students were given an overview of their test for tomorrow and had the entire hour to review and study for this test.  Students are allowed to bring in a study sheet for this test and I strongly encourage each student to take the time to make one. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. B (Ms. Norris is away in Hawaii so Ms. B will be here all week for her) and began their Drama Unit. In French we finished up the emotion/mood worksheet before moving on to our Unit End assignment.  For this assignment students will get into groups of 3 and will be responsible for creating a music critique podcast using garageband.
During the last hour of the day the students had Ms. B again for Phys. Ed and played chain tag and garbage ball.
