What We Learned Today...January 29th

The students had their first Dystopian Book Club meeting today.

We kicked off our morning with a half hour of silent reading from 9:08 to 9:38.  In ELA, the students had their first official group Dystopian book Club (or the "DBC" for short!) meeting to discuss their books.  Most groups took some time to sort their books into five sections before beginning to read chapter one together. We will continue the book club meetings tomorrow and students should be following along with the schedule they received on Monday in their Book Club Package.

In Grade 8 Math we took some time to go over the Surface Area quizzes from yesterday as a class.  I was pleasantly surprised with how well the students did on these quizzes.  Good job everyone!   The students spent the rest of the period working on their 5.4 assignments as well as the unit review in their textbook.

After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and they worked on the paragraph response to their garage band songs.  In Science we spent a little more time working on the Pure Substance and Mixture assignment before going through the "Les Transports" sheets in French.  During the last hour of the day the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they continued to work on various movement patterns and skills associated with basketball.

*Congratulations to the girls basketball team on their big win last night! Good job girls!
