What We Learned Today...January 13th

ELA: Following our usual AR period this morning students began to work on their questions from the "Killers Tall Tale", a short story we read yesterday.  We will continue working on these questions in class tomorrow,

Career Ed: Today we finally began our first of a few Career Ed units by by beginning to look at skills.  Students began looking at skills that are necessary to be successful at school and examining whether or not they currently possess them.

Religion: Students continued to work on their Epiphany post card assignments.  We will have one more class period for this assignment and then it will become homework.

Grade 8 Math:  We spent the hour reviewing how our "Flipped Classroom" works and then students who finished their 5.2 assignments from yesterday began watching the new video.

Science: After learning about the different parts of the Microscope last week, the students got a chance to apply their new found knowledge through our cell lab today.  Students spent the hour observing and documenting what animal cells look like under low, medium and high powers.  We will continue this lab tomorrow and begin to explore plant cells.
