What We Learned Today...January 8th

Our first and second place winners from our tournament today!

ELA: Today we began our day with the usual AR period until 9:35 before moving on to the "Last Writer Standing" game that we learned about last class.  Students competed in an epic tournament that test their knowledge of the writing process.  This was an intense tournament and in the end it came down to the wire in the end! Congratulations to everyone on a well played tournament!

Arts. Ed: Ms. Postma stopped by and led the students to the Arts. Ed room where they got the opportunity to present their interview skits for the rest of the class.

Genius Hour: With the end date approaching fast for our first Genius Hour projects, we had a bonus class today and discussed what final products could look like for this project.

Religion: We discussed the recent Feast of Epiphany (January 6th) and what exactly Epiphany is.  Students were then tasked with creating a post card from the perspective of one of the three wise men on their encounter with the baby Jesus.

Grade 8 Math: Students finished up their 5.1 handouts and we spent some time looking at the 5.2 lesson which deals with nets of 3-D objects.
