What We Learned Today...October 19th

Working on their Optical Illusions

Today we were fortunate to have Ms. Grad join us in reading during our AR period this morning. I'm sure she was very impressed with how quickly everybody got settled and began reading.  Instead of ELA this morning we switched and had Social Studies to make up for our missed class from earlier in the week. For the first half of Social we continued to learn about Sales Tax and how PST and GST only affect certain Goods and Services that we purchase.  Students then applied this knowledge to their personal shopping lists and calculated total costs factoring in all tax.  At 10:00 we met our little buddies from Ms. Wileys 3/4 class to play some Dr. Seuss themed activities in the gym.
In Grade 8 Math we began tackling some problem solving questions using the Pythagorean Relationship.  (Students recieved an assignment that is listed below)

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued creating Optical Illusions using a drawing of their hand.  At 1:45 we made our way to the Library and once again met up with our little buddies and ended off education week by reading books with them.
