What We Learned Today...June 1st

The results of the Buffalo hunt!

Social Studies: Instead of our usual ELA class, we had an extra Social Studies period to make up for the one we missed last week.  Over the hour students got into their Colonization Simulation groups and began thinking of demands they have for key areas when we negotiate our Treaties on Wednesday.  It was so fun to watch how creative each group was with this activity and I can't wait to see the actual negotiations later this week!

Fully Alive: After lunch we continued through our unit by learning about Romantic and Sexual Fantasies as well as the damaging affect Pornography can have on an individual.  I have to say I am quite impressed with how mature our class has been while we have been discussing such serious topics.
Below is a copy of the Power Point I have using to teach this content:

Grade 8 Math: We spent the period learning about key points from Unit 11 which revolves around Statistics and Probability as well as reviewing some key concepts for their Math Diagnostic.  We will begin writing the Diagnostic Exam on Wednesday afternoon and we will continue writing until early the following week.

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day the students continued to work on their treaty demands assignment.
