What We Learned Today...November 19th

Mr. Meyer's visited us today!

 This morning we started out our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  At 9:38 we were very fortunate to have Mr. Meyers stop by again for another one of his wonderful presentations.  Today, some of the topics he covered were: The history of St. Nicholas and Santa Claus, the origin of the Candy Cane as well as what exactly Advent means.  Once again he did such a great job today and I know I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait until he's back in December! 

In Grade 8 Math we went through our unit three exams and as I said yesterday, I am very pleased with how well the students did on the tests.  After reviewing their exams they began working on their assignment from pg. 128 as well as handout 4.1.  Students will continue working on the 4.1 handout during tomorrow's class and we will move on to 4.2 on Thursday.

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they worked on their Twin Portrait Reflections.  At 1:23 we had ELA and the students were given the period to finish up their "Youtube Hero" assignment.  If students did not finish this assignment in class today, it will be homework as we will be presenting videos on Thursday morning.  During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed and after a quick warm up they were able to vote on a game to play. 

* Remember to bring donations to school this week if you would like to support the Philippines and give one of our staff members a make over at the next assembly!

After two days our fundraising totals for the Philippines is now up to $218.19!  With two more days in our fundraiser, the top three spots are still up for grabs.  Don't forget that the three classes that finish with the most money per student will each be able to select a staff member to dress up at our Month End Assembly!

The leaders after today are:
1) Ms. Weafer's Class
2) Ms. Kalychuck's Class
3) Ms. Postma/Bachiu's Class
