What We Learned Today...March 10th

Chatting on Today's Meet!

We kicked off our week with a school wide assembly in the gym this morning.  In ELA, the students watched a short video about airport surveillance and privacy and then chatted on Today's Meet with students from St. Gabriel and St. Francis.  This was our last Today's Meet session and I'm so impressed with how well everyone from our classroom did on this activity.  With an activity like this, there's always the possibility for issues, but I'm happy to say that the students of Deshaye represented themselves and their school incredibly well over the past month.  Well done everyone!  In Grade 8 Math the students took a quick quiz on "Multiplying Fractions and Whole Numbers" using Socrative before working on their textbook assignment.  (see full assignment below or on our Math website: www.brescianimath8.weebly.com)

After lunch the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they were incredibly thrilled to participate in the Beep Test today!  (well maybe not everyone...)  At 1:23 we had Science and continued on with our Science Fair Projects.  The research portion of the assignment was due today and for the duration of class the students worked on constructing a detailed Hypothesis.  During the last hour of the day Mr. Csada stopped by for Social Studies and the students worked on their Geography presentations.
