What We Learned Today...September 11th

Working on a Shading assignment in Arts. Ed

This morning we started the morning off by discussing the September 11th attacks and how it has impacted our lives today. We watched part of the documentary "102 Minutes that Changed America" as well as read stories about the altruistic people who stepped up during the attacks. (In particular we focused on the Firefighters as well as the passengers aboard United Flight 93). Students were then asked to contemplate a series of questions about the attacks, altruism and the need for peace. (Assignment can be found here). After recess, the students headed to the gym with Mr. Fuchs and worked on some key skills and movement patterns associated with Football before heading back to class for Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma.

For the first half hour after lunch we had Religion and continued to work on our Altruistic Hero assignment from the morning.  In Grade 8 Math the students finished up their assignment from Pg. 57 and began to work on the 2.2 handout for the duration of the class.  During the last hour of the day we had Social Studies and students were given the hour to finish up their "What in the World" assignment as well as work period to catch up on any outstanding work to avoid taking it home for homework. (Because who likes Homework right?!!)
