What We Learned Today...October 17th

Today we started out the morning with AR and then got right into Religion. We finished up our discussion on "Our Talents" and set our sights on our second unit, "We Believe in God". 

 

Here's another video we observed in our discussion about Talents:

 

During ELA we had our final run dress rehearsal as well as our final run through of tomorrow. As I said yesterday, I am completely blown away with how great of a job these students have done with this assignment. They only had three weeks to research, write and perform their broadcasts and have done an amazing job thus far.

In Grade 8 Math, the students were given time to work on any remaining questions they had from Pg. 103 and were given Handout 3.3 to work on as well.

In the afternoon we had the priviledge to attend the Kindergarten Welcome Liturgy, which was absolutely wonderful. (Special Thanks to Mrs. Sutherland for all her hard work preparing everything.) In Social Studies, we continued to learn about Sales Tax and investigated the different rates among the various provinces.
