What We Learned Today....February 28th

The Bresciani Barbarians showing our game faces before Battle of the Classes!

Unfortunately, I was away this morning at Mimio training but the students were in great hands as Mr. Ngui was in for me.  To start the morning the students had their usual AR period from 9:00-9:30. Reading is now more important than ever as we will be starting our Battle of the Classes at the end of today. Essentially for the month of March our class will be competing against Mr. McCulloch's and Mr. Csada's classes for the most AR points per student.  The winning class will receive the grand prize of a pizza party! So lets make sure we all Read, Read, Read because it's a team effort and everyone needs to do their part. 
Instead of ELA today, the students had an hour long Religion class to work on their Lenten Service Packages.  *Remember Parts One, Two and Three (Pray, Fast and Give) are due tomorrow March 1st. 
In Grade 8 Math the students worked on Handout 6.1 which dealt with Multiplying Fractions and Whole Numbers.  *This assignment will be due on Tuesday, March 5th.

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Mr. Pringle because Ms. Norris had to attend to some business in the office.  I believe the spent the half hour participating in numerous Drama games to help them gear up for their upcoming Drama unit. 

At 1:15 the students had Arts. Ed with Dr. Roman (Mr. Csada was away sick today) and began to look at cells and were tasked with drawing one of the cells shown in class. During the last hour of the day we had our Battle of the Classes Assembly! Our class put on quite the show during our introduction and what's even more impressive is the fact that we created it all during the 2:15 recess!  Well Done everyone and let's get ready to crush The Magic Mike's and The Shady Csada's in this years edition of Battle of the Classes!
