What We Learned Today...January 17th

This morning we started out our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  Instead of ELA today, we had French and continued our "Voyager" unit by looking at the different times of the year people travel as well as why they travel. At 10:08 Ms. Folk called us down to the Library to take our first STAR (reading comprehension) test of the New Year.  In Grade 8 Math the students continued to work on Pg. 180 as well the 5.3 handout.  Note: This assignment will be due on Wednesday, January 22nd.

After lunch we had another French period and we finished up a quick assignment from this morning before looking about different modes of transportation.  At 1:23 we switched over to Religion and took some time to talk about the different gifts we got for Christmas.  As we were creating a list of presents, we discovered that almost everything on our list was "material" items.  This discussion lead directly into the focus question for today: "What gifts has God given us?". To end the class we talked about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the students were given a small reflection to work on.
