What We Learned Today...October 29th

This morning we started out the day with Accelerated Reading from 9:08 to 9:38 before beginning ELA.  During the next hour we continued our lesson from yesterday about heroes and read a story as well as watched a short cartoon about the adventures of Perseus. It was very important for the students to learn about Perseus today as the movie we saw in the afternoon (Percy Jackson) was based off of his story. In Grade 8 Math students were given an outline for their quiz on Monday, November 4th and then had the rest of the period to work on their review. 

At 12:30 we headed over to the Golden Mile for the afternoon to watch the movie Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.  As I mentioned earlier, this movie was a great opportunity for us because it ties in directly with our Greek Mythology Unit and more specifically with our lesson this morning.  The students will be working on an assignment tomorrow that will task them with comparing the story of Perseus in movie to Perseus the myths.
