What We Learned Today...October 14th

Hard at work on their Diagon Alley assignment

ELA: Today the students were tasked by the fictional Cornelius Fudge (The Minister of Magic in Harry Potter) to create a persuasive advertisement for Diagon Alley to help boost business.  This new assignment will help improve the students persuasive writing skills and will last all of next week.

Health: We officially kicked off our unit on Body Image by talking about the differences between positive and negative body image.  Next week we will continue our lesson by learning about the different pressures that young people face with body image.

Religion: After lunch we read the creation story from the Bible and the students were given a creative assignment that tasks them with retelling the creation story in whatever medium they would like.

Math: Students were given the entire period to work on the 3.2 handout or write the Unit 2 retest.
