What We Learned Today... January 6th

The Dystopian Board for our next ELA unit!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas break over the past two weeks.  I'm really excited to be back as there are so many amazing things that will be happening over the next 6 months!

This morning we started out the new year with a wonderful Epiphany liturgy in the gym.  I would like to thank Ms. Kondzielewski and all the other staff members for all their hard work in preparing the liturgy today.  Once we got back to the classroom, the students got out their books and were given the half hour before recess to silent read during AR.  After recess we had Religion and we watched a video about key events that happened in the world during 2013.  Students were then asked to write about key moments their life that occurred in the past year as well as goals they have for themselves in 2014.  We will continue to work on this assignment during class tomorrow and Wednesday. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they looked at Social Justice Issues in the world and listened to different songs that were written about them.  *Students, don't forget you need to select a song about a Social Justice Issue by Monday, January 13th
At 1:38 we had another mini Religion class and the students continued to work on their writing assignment.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health and they read a few pages from their Fully Alive books before working on a Character Assignment.
