What We Learned Today...March 5th

Working hard on their Blog Posts!

We started out our day today we the usual half hour of silent reading during AR.  *We are now up to 3.8 AR points per student after only two days which is awesome!  If everyone continues to do their part and read I'm sure we can bring home the Battle of the Classes trophy for a second straight year!  In ELA the students were given the hour to work on their Dytopian Book Club blogging assignment as well as their comment for week 3.  At 10:38 we had Grade 8 Math and we switched things around a little today.  Instead of moving on to Unit 6, I gave the students one more day to study for their Exam tomorrow and work on a unit review.

After lunch we headed to the gym and joined Father Anthony for our Ash Wednesday Mass.  I would like to thank Ms. Sutherland and Ms. Zenuk for all their hard work in preparing our mass today!  At 1:38 we had Science and we talked about how to form a detailed Hypothesis by using the words, "If/Then" and "Because" and the students also spent some time researching their topic.  *Students, don't forget you need to have all your research completed by Monday, March 10th.  During the last hour of the day the students had Health with Ms. Zenuk and they completed their poster assignments.

Reminders:
Badminton try-outs Tomorrow at 3:30
Please remember to bring back Grade 8 Farewell forms as they are due tomorrow
No school on Friday due to the teacher convention.
