What We Learned Today....October 9th

Twin Portrait!

This morning we had Accelerated Reading for the first half hour of the day before moving on to a catch-up homework period.  Students were given the hour to work on any outstanding work they had in any of their classes. During this hour some of our classmates were also given the chance to attend a special book reading in the Library with critically acclaimed author, Susin Nielsen. These students were chosen to go due to their high AR points total after the first month of the year. 

Instead of French today, we had an extra Math period from 10:53 to 11:53. 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. This is such a handy resource and I really encourage students to use it at home as well as a supplement to our regular math program. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they continued to work on their Twin Portrait assignment.  At 1:38 we had Religion and began to look at the Creation Story from Genesis 1-2 in the Bible.  We will continue to look at this story tomorrow and the students will begin working on a project about this story.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zwingli and they continued to film their Passive, Assertive and Aggresive senerios.
