What We Learned Today...January 16th

Trust Fall in Arts. Ed!

Solving the Mystery!

ELA: Today we started out the class with our usual AR period where the students silently read their AR books. Then, the students had the opportunity to become detectives as they were tasked with solving a fictitious murder when given all the clues and events out of order.


Arts. Ed: Ms. Postma stopped by and the students continued their Improv unit by participating in fun activities that ranged from group story telling to trust falls as you can see from the picture above.

Religion: After some begging yesterday, I cracked and the students were given one final period to finish up their Epiphany post card assignments.  These are now due on Monday, January 19th.

Grade 8 Math: We quickly reviewed how to calculate Surface Area of 3-D prisms before the students got to work on their 5.3 handout.

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day we quickly practiced the inferencing and questioning skills learned last week by splitting the class into two and having each side try to figure out the mystery location the other picked.
