What We Learned Today....October 12th

Today we switched things up in the morning.  Instead of AR first thing, we had the laptops and spent the half hour working on our Religion Blogging assignment.  ("My Talent" blog post is due on Monday)  As we've been doing all weeek for ELA, students spent the entire hour putting the final touches on their Step Up News Broadcasts.  I've had the chance to see every groups broadcast from start to finish and I must say I'm very impressed with what the students have put together in such a short amount of time.  These are going to look amazing when we head to the Broadcast Studio next week!
In Grade 8 Math we reviewed the assignment on Pg. 99 and then students were given the 3.3 assignment to work on.  (Note: Pg. 99 assignment is due on Monday, you will have more class time to complete 3.3 on Monday.)

After Lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris for a half hour.  Then in French we looked at some more basic questions and responses as well as an introduction to "ER" verbs.  During the last hour of the day we had the annual Staff vs Student Football game.  The students put forth a valliant effort but were unable to overcome the Hot Arm of Mr. Csada and eventually lost 18-6 to the teachers.  The Highlight of the Night goes to Ms. Bachiu for her bone rattling collision with Mr. Bresciani.  She was tested for a concussion after the game, but the results came back negative.  She is listed as day to day moving forward.  (Honourable mention goes to the teachers for their bobsled touchdown celebration)
