What We Learned Today...January 27th

 

Our five books for the DBC (Dystopian Book Club)

We kicked off our week this morning with a school wide assembly in the gym. Ms. Norris gave a shout-out to our boys basketball team who did an excellent job representing Deshaye at the St. Matthew Invitational Tournament over the weekend.  The boys played extremely well in the tournament and made it all the way to final.  Good job boys! In ELA we officially started our Dystopian Book Club as students were placed into groups and given the novel they will be responsible for reading over the next month. Students also discussed and created ground rule expectations that they have for their book club groups.  *Each group was given a package that outlines all the assignments and blog posts for this unit as well as a schedule with all due dates.  I have also posted this booklet on my blog which can be found here or on the ELA tab at the top of the blog. 

After lunch the students had Arts. Ed with Ms. Postma and they were given the hour to complete their Social Justice Garage Band songs.  At 1:38 we had Religion and we brainstormed different questions to ask Mr. Meyers during his presentation tomorrow. Just to give you an idea, some of the questions that were discussed were: Was God always around or did someone create God? How did different races come to be? What does God look like?..etc. We are really looking forward to hearing Mr. Meyers responses tomorrow morning! During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zenuk and they had the hour to work on their Career poster assignment.
