Today we began our day by heading straight to the Library for ELA, due to some construction happening in our room. We continued where we left off yesterday by reading the rest of Chapter One from Harry Potter and then listened to the audio book for Chapter Two. As we read, we took some time to break down key vocabulary words and keep track of the major plot events and where they fit on our Plot Diagram. At 10:35 Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students continued to work their first drawing assignment of the year. In Health we talked about presentations and the students learned some key tips to giving an effective presentation. *If you would like to view the presentation or the presentation on studying, please see the Health Tab at the top of this blog.
After lunch we had Religion and the students were given the half hour to complete their Multiple Intelligence Charts. This assignment will be due on Wednesday, September 10th. In Grade 8 Math we continued to work our way through Two and Three Part Ratios by beginning the 2.1 assignment. Students, don't forget that the assignment from Pg. 51 is due on Tuesday, September 9th. During the last hour of the day we had Science and officially began our first unit of the year, "Optics, Vision and Light". Over the course of the hour, the students rotated through different stations where they made observations and inferences about light through the different experiments they carried out.
As I mentioned on Tuesday, we have such an amazing group of students in our class, and it's really made the week fly by. We are going to have an incredible year this year! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
