What We Learned Today...October 25th

St. Kateri Tekakwitha

Today we started off the morning with a half hour chat about the results of the elections and how they affect us.  Somehow we also squeezed in some time to discuss the upcoming American Election because some students had watched the latest debate and had some opinions to share with the class. 
During ELA we continued learning about the Writing Process and ended up playing an intense game of "Last Writer Standing" before Ms. Folk came in to do a guest book talk with our class.
After Recess the students had Phys. Ed in the gym and participated in numerous stations with a different physical activity at each stop.

After lunch the students had AR until 1:15 and then began working on their new Religion assignment.  For this assignment, students are tasked with creating a poster or Glog on a Patron Saint of their choice.  However, before they can start designing their poster they must do some extensive research about their chosen Saint.  During the last hour of the day the Grade 8's continued their CAT 4 Test while the Grade 7's worked on a new Social Studies assignment.
