What We Learned Today....December 12th

Busy writing their Unit Exams!

Wow have we ever had a busy week this week! Between our Space Station all day Wednesday and being away yesterday, I wasn't able to update my blog as often as I would like.   But fear not, here I am just in time for the regular Friday blog post!

ELA: Today students were given the entire period to work on their Harry Potter writing assignment. Students should now have completed their first draft and started editing and revising process.  They will be given one more class on Monday to finish up their two paragraphs before it is due on Wednesday.

Phys. Ed: Mr. Fuchs took advantage of the nice weather today and led the students outside where they got their share of physical activity by playing a huge game of capture the flag!

Arts. Ed: Over this period the students continued to work on their drawings from last class and handed any Essay's that were not turned in on time.

Grade 8 Math: The day finally came...Students spent the entire hour writing their Unit 4 Exam, which as one student wisely pointed out that it was their final math test for the year!

Genius Hour: During the last hour of the day students were given the entire hour to work on their Genius Hour project as well as work on their Progress Blog Post.

*Sadly there will be no Blog Post update on Monday as I will be away in Seattle watching the Seattle Seahawks take on the San Francisco 49's! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and I will see you on Tuesday!
