What We Learned Today...January 29th

Working on Genius Hour with the spare time we had before assembly!

ELA: This morning we started the day off with our usual AR period before getting some serious work done on the Oak Island persuasive paragraphs. Students will get one more work period to finish these up on Monday before they become homework.

Career Education: After going through the list of valuable work skills yesterday, students then had the opportunity to select five skills they felt they already possessed.  Then they were tasked with writing down examples from their daily lives that demonstrate that they possess each skill.

Religion: We spent the period reviewing the four parts to creating your own prayer (You, Who, Do, Through) as well as the four common types of prayers that Mr. Meyers taught us last week.  Next week we will be starting to write our own prayers that will be compiled into a class prayer book.

Grade 8 Math: Students received their Math quizzes back and we spent some time going through the quiz before working on the Unit Review and Practice Test from the textbooks.  *Don't forget to study for the Unit Exam over the weekend!

Month End Assembly: Shortly after the afternoon recess we headed down to the gym and celebrated  different students accomplishments such as new AR Point Club members and AR prize winners.
