What We Learned Today...January 30th


Today we started off our morning with the usual AR silent reading period from 9:08 to 9:38.  In ELA the students got into their Dystopian Book Club groups and continued to read and discuss their groups selected book.  Students, don't forget to check your schedule for upcoming due dates, as all groups need to be finished section one by next Friday!  At 10:53 we had Math and the students were given the entire hour to complete their 5.4 assignment and begin working on their unit review.  Our unit test is quickly approaching (February 6th) and I really encourage everyone to begin studying now.  The practice test in the textbook and IXL would be great resources to use while studying.

After lunch Mr. Fuchs stopped by for Phys. Ed and the students worked on different types of basketball passes.   At 1:23 we had Science and we did an experiment that investigated whether black ink is a Pure Substance or a Mixture.  In order to figure this out, students drew a line of marker on filter paper and placed it in a beaker of water and what they observed was quite interesting. As you can see from the picture below, black ink is in fact a Mixture as it is made up of many different colours.  During the last hour of the day we headed to the gym for our month end assembly.
