What We Learned Today...December 6th

Opening his gift from our advent calendar!

This morning we started out our day with AR from 9:08 to 9:38.  With just one week left to meet our goal, we are up to 7.4 Points Per Student.  We are so close to our goal and I'm sure if everyone continues to complete their daily reading we will easily meet our goal!  During ELA we continued to work on the "Super Sized Trading Card" assignment for the entire hour.  *Don't forget this assignment is due on Wednesday, December 11th.  In Grade 8 Math the students continued to work on the assignment from Pg. 142 from yesterday as well as their 4.3 handout.

After lunch we had Religion and the students were given the entire period to work on their Advent Calendar assignments.  As the students work through this assignment, I'm beginning to see some truly creative calendars in progress.  I can't wait to see the finished product as I know they will be nothing short of amazing!  During the last hour of the day we had our Month End Assembly and we had a lot going on.  Some highlights from the assembly were: recognition for our volleyball players, recognition for students who made their AR point club, and our wrap up for the Philippines Fundraiser.  There we some pretty interesting looking teachers after the winning classes from our fundraiser had a chance to give them a "make-over".  Thanks again to everyone for helping to make our fundraiser such a big success.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!
