What We Learned Today...May 22nd

At the Mitch Dorge Presentation

We kicked off our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 to 9:38.  In ELA we briefly reviewed key concepts we've learned so far in our Creative Writing Unit before moving on to the major writing assignment.  For this assignment, students have been tasked with writing and illustrating their very own children's storybook.  Today they spent most of the class working on their outline and brainstorming characters, conflicts, resolutions etc.  It was really cool to see how engaged the students were in this assignment and I can't wait to see how these stories turn out over the next week. In Grade 8 Math we went through the test from yesterday and then moved on to 10.2 "Solving Two-Step Equations".

After lunch the students had a brief AR class before heading to the gym for a special presentation from Mitch Dorge who talked to the students about issues facing teenagers today such as drugs, alcohol and bullying.
