What We Learned Today...March 4th

Chowing down on some pancakes!

Seeing as today was Shrove Tuesday (also known as Fat Tuesday), we started out our day by discussing the meaning of Shrove Tuesday as well as it's importance in the Catholic Faith.  Then to help celebrate, we ate a bunch of pancakes before before beginning AR. *I forgot to mention yesterday that we have officially started the "Battle of the Classes" and are now competing to achieve the most AR Points per Student between the three 7/8 classes. In ELA, we continued to work through our Dystopian Unit and students continued to work on their blogging assignments.  At 10:38 the students were given a work period to complete their assignments from ELA or work or their Science Fair Projects.

After lunch Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students continued to work on their Social Justice Poster assignments.  In Religion we talked about the three main aspects of Lent (Praying, Fasting and Giving), and the students were given a Lenten Reflection Assignment that they will need to complete over the next 40 days. This assignment can be found under the Religion Tab located at the top of this blog.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health and they worked on their power point assignments.

Reminders:
*Health is no longer due tomorrow! It is now due on Thursday.Badminton try-outs Thursday at 3:30
Please remember to bring back ski forms and Grade 8 Farewell forms.
