What We Learned Today...November 4th

Working on their Twin Portrait Projects.

This morning we started out our week with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  We are now up to 6.7 AR Points Per Student and only need 3.3 more points to reach our goal! With just over a week left I'm sure we'll be able to reach our class goal of 10 AR Points.  Keep up the good work everyone!

In ELA we spent some time going through the Perseus and Medusa assignments before moving on to the Percy vs. Perseus Paragraphs.  Students were given the rest of the class to work on the brainstorming/drafting stages of the assignment. This assignment will be due on Tuesday, November 12th.  Don't forget you will need to hand in all stages of the Writing Process in with your good copy. 

At 11:00 we headed to the gym for an All Saints Day liturgy.  A special thanks to Ms. Steranko and Ms. Kalynchuck as well as their classes for preparing such a wonderful liturgy! 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they began to paint their Twin Portrait Assignments.  In Religion, we began a new assignment that tied in perfectly with our liturgy this morning.  For this assignment students are tasked with researching a Patron Saint and then present the imformation using the method of their choice (poster, essay, glog, prezi, slideshow, video etc.).  We will be working on this assignment for the rest of the week and I will post a due date early next week.  During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they worked on various volleyball skills.
