What We Learned Today...April 15th

Mystery Skyping this afternoon!

ELA: This morning we dove right back into our practice RAD's by finishing up the Main Idea's and began looking at Making Inferences, Making Connections and Reading Comprehension Strategies.  We have really taken our time going through this practice RAD and I feel it has been time well spent as it was over seven months ago that the students wrote the first one and only a few weeks away before we write the final one.

Career Education: Students picked up where they left off on Monday by continuing to work on budgeting their time before working on a brief reflection.

Mystery Skype: We were fortunate today to have the opportunity to participate in another Mystery Skype with an unknown classroom.  The students worked incredibly well together and using their logical reasoning skills, were able to discover the classroom we were skyping against was from Lincoln, Main in the United States.

Grade 8 Math: Students wrote their Unit 6 Quizzes and then worked on their Unit Review and Practice Test.  We also took some time to go through their corrected quizzes at the end of class so they would be able to study from them.
