What We Learned Today...March 18th

This morning we started out our day with a half hour period of AR and Ms. Folk updated the standings for Battle of the Classes. We are currently at an impressive 14.5 AR points per student (which is absolutely amazing) and we are only behind Ms. Zenuk's class by 1.5 points.  Keep up the good work everyone!  In ELA we were going to work on the Dystopian book club assignments, however, due to more technological issues, the computers were out of order.  So instead, during this time we worked on Science Fair assignments.  In Grade 8 Math, the students continued to work their way through the 6.2 assignments and some students were ready to move on and watched the 6.3 video and began working on the textbook assignment.

After lunch Mr. Fuchs stopped by for Phys. Ed and the students completed some more fitness testing and the played badminton.  At 1:23 the technology still wasn't up to par so the students continued to work on their Science Fair projects.  *Remember, all experiments and research projects need to be completed by Monday so we can work on the backboards for the majority do next week!  During the last hour of the day the students had Social Studies with Mr. Csada and they participated in a really cool lesson that saw the students investigating the flight that went missing from Malaysia last week.
