What We Learned Today...October 21st

Today we started out our day with ELA and the students continued where they left off yesterday by working on their their guiding questions for Chapters 7+8.  However, today's assignment looked a little different than past ones as students will now have to self-assess their work before they can hand it in. We will be doing this through a checklist that lists all the important aspects they need to have in order to be successful.  I believe this will be extremely beneficial for students and will help them to attain higher marks on future assignments.  If you would like to see a copy of the checklist click here or check the ELA tab at the top. In Phys. Ed the students headed to the gym with Mr. Fuchs and the students were marked on their circuit training. Shortly after arriving back Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students were working on their debate skills.

After lunch we had an early Math switch so the Grade 8's could have a full sixty minutes to write the Mathematics portion of their CAT tests.  We will be continuing this exam tomorrow and the students will be working their way through the Reading and Estimation sections.  During the last hour of the the day we had Science and the students had the hour to work on their Fish Dissection Lab Reports.  I will only be giving one more class period to work on this assignment so if it is not completed by Friday it will most likely be homework.
