What We Learned Today...October 23rd

Playing the Predator/Prey game during Science

We had a shortened AR period this morning because we had a very special visitor stop by our class again. The "Catholic Education Guru", better known as Mr. Meyers stopped by this morning and talked to us about Christians views on the afterlife and compared them to Greek mythology.  Mr. Meyers also spent some time talking about Saints and the students got the opportunity to play some Saints BINGO. It's always a treat to have Mr. Meyers stop by our classroom and teach us something new about our faith! We hope he comes back and visits soon!
In Grade 8 Math students were given the first half hour of class to complete their CAT 4 tests. During the second half of class we reviewed sections 3.1 and 3.2 so the concepts are fresh when we begin 3.3 on Friday.

After lunch we had Science and students worked on their Paper Airplane Labs from last week.  I will be submitting these labs to Guinness Book of World Records tomorrow so our school will officially be a part of a record breaking attempt!  At 1:38 we headed outside for continuation of our Science class and the students participated in a Predator/Prey tag game that taught the students about the importance of having a balance in an ecosystem.  During the last hour of the day the students had Social Studies with Mr. Csada and were given their student ID's for the Pearson Portal which allows the students to access the textbook online or on their personal devices.  Mr. Csada also mentioned that there will be a Social Studies quiz next week on Wednesday, October 30th.
