We kicked off our morning today with a brief period of silent reading before Mr. Meyers stopped by for his monthly presentation. He spent time with us today teaching us about the importance of Ash Wednesday and the history behind why we receive ashes on our foreheads. Mr. Meyers also taught us more about Lent and about the three major concepts associated with it: Fast, Pray and Give. As per his usual visits, the students were quizzed throughout his presentation and were treated to different sweets for each answer they gave! I know I speak for the entire class when I say we really appreciate whenever Mr. Meyers visits because we learn so much and have a great time doing it! (If you want to check out the really cool Lent Calendar Mr. Meyers showed us, you can check it out at Busted Halo)
In ELA, the students who were not at full band were given the entire hour to work on their Dystopian Book Club Blog Posts as well as their small assignment in their Edmodo group.
After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students continued to work on their Social Justice Posters as well as a new painting assignment. During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zenuk and they learned more about body image and "photoshopping".
