What We Learned Today...November 25th

Showing their Rider Pride!

After an exhilerating Rider Grey Cup win last night, there were quite a few exhausted students (and staff members) walking through the doors this morning.  However, everyone still had more than enough energy left to cheer and sing "Green is the Colour" during our assembly when Ms. Norris talked about the big win last night! Rider Pride has been visible all throughout the playoffs here at Deshaye and this morning was no different! Great job everyone!

Once we got back from the assembly we headed to the Library for ELA because we were having a bit of construction done in our room this morning.  During this period the students took turns presenting their "Youtube Hero Assignments" to the rest of the class.  The presentations went great and we will continue the rest of presentations tomorrow.  At 10:38 the students were given the period to work on IXL Math or any other homework they may have had.

After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students worked on a reflection for their Twin Portrait Assignment. Ms. Postma has informed me that this assignment will be due on Wednesday.  At 1:38 we had French and began to look at different geographical landmarks as well as questions and responses that are associated with them. During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zwingli and they worked on a personality quiz. 

Philippines Fundraiser Update:
It was announced this morning that the total amount our school raised to support the Philippines was an astounding $2210!! This is absoulty amazing and I couldn't be more proud of our classroom and the rest of the staff and students here and Deshaye.  I've been told that this is one of the most successful fundraisers Deshaye has had!  Thank you so much to everyone who donated this week and a special thanks to our class for their excellent leadership and hard work in putting this fundraiser together. Great work everyone!
