What We Learned Today...Nov 27th

Today we started out the mornign with a half hour of AR time.  I've been pleased with the amount AR tests our class has taken over the past month, but there is still some room for improvement.  By this point in the year each student should have read at least 3 books and have taken an AR test.  If you would like to view your childs progress have your child log in using thier AR ID and password on Home Connect.  
In ELA we learned about the multiple sources that can help us generate idea's for good topics (Sights, Sounds, Experiences, Circumstances, Wishes and Innovative Ideas) Students then were tasked with finding headlines and articles that teenagers would find interesting and informative using the iPads, Laptops and Newspaper.  After they found their headlines they were asked to turn their headlines into topics.  They then typed them into our Google Doc and we were able to watch it update live on the Smart Board. 
In Grade 8 Math, we started section 4.4 and learned how to problem solve when combing percents. 

After Lunch, the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their Social Justice drawing assignment.  At 1:15 we had French and finished up our genre listening activity from yesterday. The students also learned the names all various instruments in French and worked on a crossword puzzle involving the Genres and Instruments.  For the last hour of the day, the students had Phys. Ed with Ms. Norris and got the opportunity to take everyones favourite physical test....The Beep Test!
