What We Learned Today...September 24th

Working on their Religion reflections.

This morning we started out our day with ELA and continued on with our Harry Potter Unit by quickly going over the Fakebook assignment before spending the rest of the class reading the fifth chapter of the book together.  At 10:35 Ms. Postma stopped by for Arts. Ed and the students continued to learn the different aspects of critiquing art.
In Health, we spent some time reflecting on the important aspects of Digital Citizenship that we've learned over the past few weeks.  As a concluding activity students, then created "Wordles" (Word Clouds) to demonstrate their learning.

After lunch we had Religion and continued right where we left off yesterday by listening to the song, "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson.  Students were then tasked with writing a reflection on how the various pieces of multimedia from the past two classes tied into our unit theme, "Who am I?" and "How do I Belong?".  In Grade 8 Math, we officially moved on to Unit 3 "Squares and Square Roots" and the students learned about Pythagoras and the pattern we find with Squares.  During the last hour of the day the students had French with Ms. Bachiu.
