What We Learned Today...January 24th

Our new seating arrangement. Yes, that meant me too!

Unfortunately I had to be away at a PLC meeting all morning, but the students were in the very capable hands of Mr. Krammer.  They started out their morning with their usual AR period before moving on the ELA.  In ELA the student's read the article "Investigating the Aurora Borealis" and were tasked with answering Before, During and After response questions on an accompanying handout.  We will continue with our Daily 5 stations next week and may even add the fifth station to test out. 
The student's had another change in their schedule today as Ms. Norris was away for a meeting and did not have Phys. Ed.  Instead, Mr. Krammer continued to teach the Digital Citizenship lesson on Strategic Searching that we began last class. 

During Religion students were given the opportunity to look over their "What's in a Name?" Blog Posts and use the blogging rubrics to assess their own post.  I will be working with each student individually next week and we will go over their self-assessment.  At 1:15, the students had Health with Mr. McCulloch and we ended the day by watching the end of the movie we started on Tuesday. 

*Reminder: There is no school tomorrow as it is a TPD.
