What We Learned Today...September 30th

Unfortunately we weren't at Lebret today for our retreat due to the rain.  However, we have already began looking at potential dates in the Spring to reschedule it because it is an amazing opportunity that we want the Grade 7/8's to have this year! We started off the day today with AR from 9:00 - 9:30 before switching gears to ELA.  In ELA the Grade 7's headed to Ms. Zenuk's room while the Grade 8's stayed back and we went through the Persuasive Writing Assessment that the students will be working on over the next 3 days.  For this assessment students will need to think of a topic or issue that they care about or have strong feelings for as the basis for their persuasive piece. Students have been asked to come to school tomorrow with a topic in mind so they can get started right away on their research. Since we missed out on our Harry Potter time today due to the assessment prep, students used the forty minutes after Phys. Ed to finish up their second blogging assignment.

After lunch we had Religion and students used the entire period to finish up their "Gods Image" Assignment.  *Students, remember that this assignment is due on Friday.  If you did not finish it in class today, it will unfortunately be homework. At 1:10 Ms. Bachiu stopped by for French and they worked on their drawing assignment.  During the last hour of the day we had Social Studies and we learned about the Public and Private Sector and began to talk about what a Mixed Market Economy is.
