What We Learned Today...February 7th

Showing the gifts that the Algonquian and Plains recieved from the French.

This morning we had our usual AR period from 9:00 - 9:30 before moving on to our extra Math period.  For this period students each logged on to thier IXL accounts using the school computers as well as their own technology and spent the hour working through extra math practice questions.  As of right now our class has spent a combined 23 hours and 22 minutes on IXL and have completed 5,142 questions.  Well Done!
In Grade 8 Math the students were given the hour to complete their assignments and study for our test on Tuesday.  Note: The Chapter Review and Pracitce Test will be due on Tuesday, February 12th. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris and continued to work on their Social Justice Drawing Assignments.  She has informed me that there are a few students who are falling a little behind on their assignments and may need to take these home to catch up on. 
At 1:15 the students had Science with Mr. Csada and they completed Part Two of their Vision and Optics Science Unit. (phew!).
During the last hour of the day we had Social Studies and students got back into their Colonization Simulation groups and finished up their remaining tasks from yesterday.  Some groups also began to map out their bases and strategically decide where to put things like fences and houses within their base.
