This morning we began our day with our usual AR period before moving on to ELA. In ELA we continued our Mystery Unit with the students once again becoming detectives. This time they were tasked with piecing together a new's report about a bank robbery that had been shedded. They had to take the various parts of the article and try to put them back into the proper order using logical reasoning and inferencing.
In Grade 8 Math the students celebrated the end of Unit 4 by playing a game of math jeopardy that once again tested their knowledge of our unit on percentages.

After lunch the students were assigned thier roles for the Christmas Cafe that took place during the afternoon. Since our class was not performing for the Christmas Concert we were responsibly for not only making the Mini Minga items that we worked on the past couple days, but also running the Christmas Cafe. This job saw the students doing everything from making various hot beverages, selling baking goods, creating menu's as well as making signs. They did an absolutely wonderful job with this and I heard all afternoon how impressed people were with the responsibility and maturity shown by the students today. So well done to all the students for this afternoon as well as tonight. (I'm writing this post a little early, but I know the students will continue to do a great job at the Concert tonight!)
I would also like to thank Ms. Norris for all her hard work planning the senior portion of the Christmas Concert. The gym looks amazing and everything has gone quite smoothly today as a result!
