What We Learned Today...October 29th

Mother Teresa "Thankfulness" Award Winners for October

We started out the week with a very special school wide assembly this morning.  Ms. Tillman began the assembly by sharing stories from her amazing trip that she took tagging Great White Sharks! It was pretty amazing to see some of the pictures she took becuase I don't think any of us realized how big Great White Sharks actually are!  After Ms. Tillman we had our monthly Mother Teresa Awards winners.  This month we recognized students in the school who demonstrated Thankfulness during the month of October.  Congratulations to the three award winners from our classroom! Since the assembly was a little longer than usual we only had about 10 minutes left in ELA and began discussing the elements of Ghost Stories.
In math the Grade 8's lucked out again and the Math quiz had to be bumped back until tomorrow.  Instead, during the hour the Grade 8's worked on handout 3.5.

After lunch we continued to discuss and examine the 3 common elements that occur in ghost stories.  Once we finish looking at elements of Ghost Stories we will actually begin to create our own!
The students did some really cool Science experiments with Mr. Csada during Science and continued to work on the Arts. Ed shading assignment with Mr. W during the last hour of the day.
