What We Learned Today...May 6th

The Flipped Math Crew!

We kicked of our morning today with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38 before moving on to the Persuasive Essays in ELA.  Students had the entire hour to edit and revise the third drafts of their essays.  Those students who were on their final draft were asked to mark their own essay using the rubric provided at the beginning of the unit so they could see what level they were at before turning it in.  Due to the Queens University Survey, we will be losing an ELA class on Thursday which means that the due date for this assignment has been bumped back to Monday, May 12th.  In Grade 8 Math we officially started Unit 9, which deals with graphing and linear relations.

Working hard in Arts. Ed

After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students worked on their dance notations as well as a sketchbook assignment on the topic of their choice.  At 1:38 we had Religion and briefly went through the assignment on the four gospels from last class before starting a project about symbols of hope in our world. During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they learned how to High Jump.
