What We Learned Today...June 10th

The Grade 8's practicing farewell songs with Deacon Joe.

This morning we started our week off right by having a quick school wide assembly in the Gym. After we finished O'Canada and announcements two very special guests came forward to recognize two individuals this morning.  The first was our very own Mrs. Sutherland who was recognized this morning by Mr. Brian Lach for winning the Distinguished Employee Award.  Congratulations Mrs. Sutherland! The second individual that was recognized was one of our Grade 7 students who was recognized by Ms. Joanne Beltramini for reaching an impressive Milestone, 1000 AR Points.  Congratulations to this students as well!

After we got back from the assembly, we switched things up and had an hour long Religion class instead of ELA.  In this period students got into their groups from last week and began researching their Religion Mysteries.  For this assignment students were given four questions to help aid them in their research and will be tasked with creating a brief Power Point presentation about their Mystery. 

In Grade 8 Math we continued to learn about Linear Relationships and Equations. Students were given assignment 9.3 to work on during the period.  The students were also given a complete study guide for their upcoming Math Diagnostic using questions from their text book.  I have recommended that the students try to review at least 5 questions per night to help them fully prepare for the exam next week.

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed and they spent the half hour working on their Phys. Ed duotangs. *Ms. Norris has informed me that there will be a quiz Wednesday morning during AR.
At 1:15 we had French and the students were tasked with creating a feasible menu that includes 3 courses and drinks.  We will be using these menu's next class as we prepare for our restaurant simulation next week. Students also took turns meeting with me during this hour to participate in a brief speaking assessment. 

During the last hour of the day the grade 7's had Phys. Ed while the grade 8's spent the hour with Deacon Joe Lang in the Library practicing songs for Farewell.
