What We Learned Today...April 15th

Our Seder Meal!

This morning we started out our day with our usual AR period from 9:00 - 9:30 before we headed to the Library for a very special class.  Today the students were treated to a Seder Meal prepared by Mr. Meyers.  We were very fortunate to have him come visit today as he taught the students all about the Jewish Passover and how it connects to our faith as Catholics through the sharing of this meal.  The Seder meal consisted of numerous parts: Grape Juice (Symbolize Wine), Parsley, Apple Chunks, Horseradish and Unleavened bread.  If you would like to read more about a Seder Meal please click on the hyper-link above. 

In Grade 8 Math, the students continued working on their 8.2 textbook assignment (full assignment listed below) and some even started their 8.2 handouts.  Those students who chose to re-write their Unit Exam were also given the opportunity to write during this hour as well.  *All Math marks will be posted by Thursday so all students have an idea where they are at before the break.

At 1:23 Mr. Fuchs took the students to the gym for Phys. Ed and they participated in some Circuit Training before moving on to Track and Field events.  In French we continued to work through our Voyager unit and we learned about different activities that we may participate in on a trip and how to write them in a sentence using five different verbs.  During the last hour of the day Mr. Csada stopped by for Social Studies and the students took turns presenting their geography power points.

Here are some more pictures from our Seder Meal:
