What We Learned Today...April 27th

Deep in thought during our Quizizz game!


ELA: This morning we kicked off our week by watching the first half of the movie, "The Lorax".  The students were tasked with writing down the various issues they find as they view the movie.  We will be using these issues for an important lesson after we finish watching the movie.

Career Ed: The students continued to work on their "Reality Check" assignment on the Real Game. This has been a particularly great assignment for the students as they have learned a lot about the importance of budgeting and financial planning.  My favourite part from this activity has definitely been the look on each students face when they saw the deductions on their pay stubs as well as the mortgage payments for the houses they chose!  Priceless!

Grade 8 Math: We started out the class with a short quiz on Socrative before the students began work on the textbook assignment for 8.5.  Integers and BEDMAS will be the focus of our next few classes as it is typically one of the harder concepts in grade 8 math.

Science: With our unit exam on Cells, approaching quickly (May 1st), we spent the last hour of the day reviewing the key terms and concepts from the unit.  Students reviewed these concepts by playing a quick trivia game on quizizz.com then getting into groups for a good old fashioned game of jeopardy.
