What We Learned Today...June 4th

One more trailer from yesterday.  By Joana, Netheline, Bianca, Kaye, Darren and Denmark.

This morning the students read their books from 9:00 - 9:30 during AR.  Update: We now have 10.8 AR Points Per Student and with only 3 days to go our goal is definitely within reach!  At 9:30 we had ELA and during the first couple minutes of class students got an opportunity to watch each others Movie Trailer Assignment from yesterday.  As I said yesterday, the students absolutely blew me away with how amazing of a job they did with this assignment.  Their trailers truly look like trailers you would see if you were to hit up the movie theatre.  *If you would like to re-watch any of the assignments be sure to check out yesterdays Blog Post.   During the second half of class we began looking our practice RAD test and focused on the area of "Text Features". We will continue to work on our practice RAD's tomorrow afternoon and hopefully begin the real RAD next week. 

In Grade 8 Math the students continued to work on their 9.1 assignment from yesterday on "Graphs and Linear Relations".  Most students had finished this assignment by the half-way point of class so we ended up moving on to 9.2, which is just a continuation of 9.1 with a focus on finding Patterns.  We will continue working with 9.2 on Thursday.

After lunch we had Religion and students were given the half hour to complete their "Clouds" Blog Post assignment.  At 1:15 Mr. Csada came by for Science and gave the students the entire hour to work on their Flying Monster Kite assignments. To complete their day the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Norris during the last hour of the day and began looking at Musical Scores in Feature Films. 

**Reminder: The three grade 7/8 classes will be going to the University of Regina on tomorrow 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.
*Girls remember to bring an extra shirt tomorrow if you have a two piece swim suit.
