What We Learned Today...September 22nd

Mr. Meyers giving his presentation this morning!

Religion: This morning we were very fortunate to have Mr. Miles Meyers (The Catholic Education Services Coordinator) join our class this morning to give one of his amazing presentations.  Over the hour he taught us some more about mythology and some the similarities and differences between the Greek Myths and our Christian Myths.  He also took a little bit of time to compare the creation stories between Christians, Greeks and the First Nations People of Canada.

Health: Students continued to present their amazing "All About Me" presentations today and we continued with them right after lunch instead of Religion as we already had an hour long class this morning.  I have to say that I've been absolutely blown away with how well the students have done with this assignment!  Each presentation has been incredibly engaging and I feel like we've got to know each person in our class a little better these past few days.  I can't wait to see the remainder of them tomorrow!

Math: We started out the class by going through the Unit 2 Exams that the students wrote yesterday before officially beginning Unit 3 by learning about Squares and Square Roots.  *Unfortunately we were interrupted by a fire drill during the 3.1 lesson so I have asked students to finish up the lesson online so we can begin the first assignment tomorrow.

ELA: During the last hour of the day the students were given the hour to work on the good copy of their Persuasive Writing Assessment.  *Due to the fact that we didn't get a complete hour this afternoon to finish assessment up, students will receive a half hour tomorrow to complete their good copies.
