What We Learned Today...May 2nd

The students were quite happy with the way we started our day today as we spent the first half hour finishing up our AR movie from yesterday.  Once the movie ended, the students got straight to work on editing their Dystopian Persuasive Essays.  I was really impressed  again with how hard the students worked on their essays today.  Keep up the good work!  At 10:53 we had French and continued our Voyager unit by looking the the verbs: "Jouer", "Prendre", "Voyager" "Aller" and "Rester" and their conjugations.  We also looked at different activities you might take while on a vacation.  

After lunch Ms. Posta stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students finished up filming their dances and also worked on another sketchbook assignment.  In Religion we reviewed the four gospel stories about Jesus' resurrection before looking at how Jesus is a symbol of Hope for us.  The students then were given a brief assignment asking them to create or find images of a symbol(s) of Hope in our world.  During the last hour of the day we headed to the gym for the Month end assembly.
