What We Learned Today...October 23rd

Reading with our little buddies!

This morning we started out the day with a quick AR period before heading down to the Kindergarten room to meet our little buddies.  Each grade 8 student was paired up with a Kindergarten student and spent the hour reading some of their buddies favourite books.  I was incredibly impressed with how amazing each student in our class was with their buddy.  They were very patient, kind and caring with their buddy and demonstrated to me, and the entire school, the wonderful leadership qualities they possess.  At 10:35 Mr. Fuchs took the students down to the gym for Phys. Ed and they continued to work on skills and movement patterns associated with Volleyball. In Health we continued to learn about Body Image and Photoshopping and the students worked on a small assignment near the end of class.

After lunch we had another early Math class so the Grade 8's had the full hour to complete their CAT tests.  Today the students worked through the Computation/Estimation portion of the exams and have officially finish all Division/Government assessments for the fall.  (Yes, you did read that correctly! We are finally done!!!....until the spring)  During the last hour of the day we headed back down to the Kindergarten room to meet our afternoon little buddies and the Grade 7/8's once again did a wonderful job reading with their buddies.
