What We Learned Today...November 6th

We spent time reviewing student goals from the beginning of the year today.

This morning we began our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  The students have continued to do an excellent job with AR as we are now up to 8.7  points per student.  With just under a week left, the students only need 1.3 more points to earn their movie party. This is definitely an attainable goal and I'm positive we'll make it as long as everyone continues to do their part!  In ELA the students spent the hour peer editing their Percy vs. Perseus paragraphs.  During this time I also started meeting with students individually about the goals they set for the first term.  Together we looked at their goals and compared them to their present marks in all the subjects I teach.  Through looking at their marks we discussed their strengths in each subject as well as areas they can look to build on for the next term.  I will be continuing to meet with students tomorrow during ELA as well. 

In Grade 8 Math we spent the first half of class going through the quizzes the students wrote yesterday.  I was very impressed with the marks on these quizzes as they were very well done for the most part.  The second half of class was spent working on the assignment from 3.4, which will be due on Tuesday, November 12th. 


After lunch we had Religion and the students were given the entire period to work on their Saint Research Assignment.  During the last hour of the day the students had Social Studies with Mr. Csada and they continued to work on their test from yesterday's class.
