What We Learned Today...December 16th

One of our wonderful Advent Calendars!

It's finally here! The last week of school before Christmas holidays is now upon us.  While many of us are already looking a head to next week, we can't simply forget about this week.  We've still got lots to do before the holidays so be sure to continue all the hard work right up until 3:30 on Friday!

This morning we began our day with a half hour of silent reading from 9:08 to 9:38.  We are so close to reaching our point total for this month and if everyone continues to read diligently each day, I'm positive we'll reach it by Friday!  Instead of ELA this morning we had Religion and the students were given the entire hour to finish up their Advent Calendar Assignments.  Note: This assignment is due on Wednesday and we will probably only have one more half hour period to work on this assignment.  If students are not near completion of the assignment, I have asked them to take it home tonight to work on.  At 10:53 the students that were not at band worked on Math for the hour.  The Grade 7 students worked on IXL.com while the Grade 8's went through their quiz from Friday and were given the rest of the period to study for their exam. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they worked on their Music Genre Assignment.  At 1:25 we headed down to the gym for an Advent Liturgy as well as our Month End Assembly. We were also treated to some great music as the Deshaye band students played numerous Christmas Carols in front of the entire school.  During the last hour of the day Ms. Zwingli stopped by for Health.
