| Designing our cupcakes today! |
This morning we kicked off our morning with a half hour AR period of silent reading. At 9: 38 Mr. Meyers stopped by to give a guest lecture on Christmas. As always, Mr. Meyers was an absolute pleasure to have in our classroom and I know the students were happy to have him back again! He taught the students so much in such a short time. Some of the topics he covered were: the full Christmas season, the history of the three wise men, the Christmas linebacker and the tradition of boxing day. I know I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait until he comes back after Christmas!
Instead of Grade 8 math, the students spent the hour decorating the cupcakes that they baked last week. They did such an excellent job decorating the cupcakes and the designs ranged from Christmas Trees to Snow Banks with Candy Canes. We managed to make it through the entire hour with minimal casualties (Only two cupcakes were lost...one due to to a lack of icing and one due to a taste test by a near by teacher!)
After lunch we had Religion and the students were given the half hour period to work on their Advent Calendars. Note: The original due date for this assignment was tomorrow. However, I have postponed it one day due to the Christmas Concert tonight and it will now be due on Thursday. In Science we spent the period reviewing for the test on Thursday by playing a game of Ecosystem Jeopardy. If you would like to check out the game we were playing today check it out here During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zwingli and they worked on an assignment in their Fully Alive textbooks.
