What We Learned Today...September 24th

Doing some blogging during Religion.

This morning we started the day out with our usual AR period from 9:08 - 9:38.  After AR we had ELA and the students began to work on their Pandora's Box Project while they watched a brief animated video about the myth.  We will be working on this assignment tomorrow as well as Thursday so students need to bring a small box that they can decorate for this assignment. 

At 10:53 we had Religion and the students began to work on their Faith Formation blog posts.  For this blog post the students need to respond to the following questions:

#1 – In four to six sentences, describe the faith formation activities that you participated in. Please remember to use specific examples from the different types of activities that you participated in during our time at Lebret.

#2 – In four to eight sentences, reflect upon the Faith Formation activities that you just described and explain how they contributed to your faith formation during the day. Consider the fact that your faith formation is a facet of your identity as a young Catholic. Again, please remember to cite specific examples when describing how your faith formation was “enhanced” or “improved upon” as a result of this excursion or set of activities. *Just in case anyone forgot, our classroom blog is at: www.kidblog.org/thebrescianibunch-2/. Feel free to check out my Blogging Rubric as well if you would like to see how I assess the students posts.
After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and continued to work on their Portrait Twin Assignment.  At 1:38 we moved on to French and continued to look at the numbers 1-100 as well as some basic salutations and conversational questions.  To end the day Ms. Zwingli came by to teach Health and the students began working on skits about positive and negative relationships.
