What We Learned Today...May 1st


Grade 8's:

-Please email (or hand in) your Farewell slideshow pictures to Mr. Csada by tomorrow.
-Please email a current picture of yourself to me by next Friday, May 9th for your Farewell star.  



We kicked off our day today with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38 before moving on to Persuasive Writing in ELA.  Students spent the entire hour revising and peer editing the rough drafts of their Dystopian Essay.  We will continue this process tomorrow and will begin working on the good copies on Monday since the final copy is due on Friday, May 9th.  In Grade 8 Math students finished up their 8.5 handouts before reviewing for their quiz by completing a unit review in the textbook.  *Students, don't forget that we have our Unit 8 Quiz on Monday and the Unit Exam on Thursday!

After lunch we celebrated our success in AR over the last month by having a movie party in our classroom.  While we may not have won the Battle of the Classes competition, our class still reached 25.8 AR points/student, which absolutely deserved a movie party celebration.  Well done everyone!  During the last hour of the day Mr. Csada stopped by for Social Studies and they discussed the term "Culture" and  investigated the different elements of culture.
