Mr. Bresciani's Blurbs: What We Learned Today...June 3rd

Filming their movie trailers in ELA

This morning we started out our day with a school wide assembly in the gym and we had a quick presentation about the Bible Summer Camp being held at Christ The King church this August. After the assembly we headed back to the classroom for ELA. Students quickly got into their Movie Trailer groups and began filming on the iPads shortly after we got back. The students really amazed me with how well they were able to adapt to filming on the iPads because for most students this was their first time using the "Trailer" function on iMovie. Students spent the entire hour filming their projects in and around the school.

In Grade 8 Math students were given back there Unit 8 Exams and we took some time at the beginning of the class to go through them together. Once we finished up with the tests we began looking at our new unit involving Graphing and Linear Relations. Students learned what a "Linear Relation" is as well as how to interpret data from a graph.

After lunch the students headed to the Library to complete their final STAR test of the year with Ms. Folk. At 1:15 we had an extra ELA period and students spent the hour finishing up the filming and editing of their Movie Trailer Assignments. The students did an absolutely wonderful job with this assignment and really impressed me with how easily and quickly they completed the assignment. Well done everyone! I've posted all the trailers that were completed today at the end of this blog post so be sure to check them out!

During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Ms. Norris and they spent the period working on the skeletal system assignments in their duotangs before heading outside to play a few games.

*Reminder: The three grade 7/8 classes will be going to the University of Regina on Wednesday June 5th for a wellness morning. The students will need to bring their Phys. Ed clothes, gym shoes, a bathing suit and a towel for this trip as they will also be going in the pool. It might also be a good idea to bring some change for the lockers so students can store their clothes away while they are in the pool.
