What We Learned Today...October 29th

Working on the House Sorting Activity

Here's snapshot of our day here today:

ELA: We finally got back to our Harry Potter Unit and continued to look at the Sorting Ceremony and how characters are grouped in the book. Students then had the opportunity to sort their partners into Hogwarts houses using their knowledge of the traits for each house.

Arts. Ed: Ms. Postma spent the period with the students finishing up their Autumn sketches before comparing and contrasting another two paintings.

Health: We continued the presentation from last class and learned about eating disorders such as: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating disorder. After the presentation the students watched a Ted Talk about eating disorders called, "Eating Disorders from the Inside Out" and worked on a couple response questions.

Grade 8 Math: For the first half of class, we went through the quizzes that the student's wrote yesterday before beginning the final textbook assignment for Unit 3. (For assignment details, see homework below)

Social Studies: Before we get back into our regular Resource and Wealth Unit, today we looked at an article that detailed some of the conflicts that are occurring in our world now. After reading, students were tasked with answering a few response questions on the article. It was a nice follow up to the article we read in September on the Gaza Strip.
