What We Learned Today...December 13th

Working with their little buddies!

Well, Friday finally came after a week packed with some extreme temperatures and lots and lots of indoor recesses!

We kicked off our morning in the usual fashion by taking the first half hour of the day to silent read for AR before heading down to the kindergarten room again.  Today we were helping our little buddies create a Christmas tree decoration using yarn and empty toilet paper tubes.  Once again our Grade 7/8s did a wonderful job with the little ones and I actually had quite a few people complimenting how kind and caring our class has been with their little buddies.  Well done everyone!

In Grade 8 Math the students were given the hour to write their Unit 4 Quiz and work on assignment 4.4 if they finished early.  Grade 8's, don't forget your Unit Exam is on Wednesday, December 18th so be sure to do a little studying each night this weekend.  If you are looking for some extra practice I would recommend the chapter review and practice test in your text books as well as IXL.com. 

After lunch we had Religion and the students used the half hour to work on their Advent Calendar Assignments.  At 1:08 we headed right back down to Ms. Sutherland's room to work with our afternoon little buddies!  During the last hour of the day the students had Social Studies with Mr. Csada and they continued to work on their government and senate scandal assignments. 

Here are some more pictures from today:
