What We Learned Today...October 2nd

Math class posing for our website!

Today, (much to the delight of the students) we started our day out by beginning the second session of the Expository and Persuasive Writing Assessments.  Over the hour, students began to use their research from yesterday to plan and write the first draft of their essays.  With today now over, that only leaves one more day for this assessment, which will be the editing and final draft day.  At 10:35 the students had Phys. Ed with Mr. Fuchs and they participated in some circuit training. In Arts. Ed  Ms. Postma stopped by and they continued to look at critiquing art.

After lunch we had a half hour of AR (silent reading) because due to the writing assessment the students have missed out on most of their reading time this week.  In Grade 8 Math we briefly discussed the video from last night before students began working on their Pythagorean Relationship assignment from Pg. 91.  During the last hour of the day we spent some time shuffling in the new desks and tables for our classroom.
