What We Learned Today...September 17th

"Stargazing" during ELA - Photo credit to Sam

ELA: This morning we kicked off our day with an AR period from 9:00 to 9:30 before gathering together in the middle of our classroom to learn about how different constellations received their names from Greek Myths.  In order to get into the proper frame for this, we projected stars on our ceiling while we listened to the Myth of Orion.  We also read the Myth of Prometheus which explained the creation of humans as well as fire which we read while sitting around a "campfire".

Genius Hour: We continued right where we left off yesterday and students worked on their essential questions for their projects.  Once they felt they had a good question they needed to discuss it with me before they could formally begin their research.  Most students have been cleared and can begin working, however those who have not finished their question will need to do this for homework tonight.

Health: After lunch a few brave souls volunteered to go first and present their "All About Me" power points.  These student's did an amazing job and I can't wait to listen to the rest of our presentations next week!

Math: We started the class out by going through the Unit 2 quiz before students continued working on the review and practice test from their textbooks.  *Don't forget that our Unit 2 Exam is on Monday so be sure to study a little bit each night!
