What We Learned Today...December 5th

Hogwarts came to our class today!

ELA: This morning we started out the day by watching the end of Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone.  Students will now be tasked with writing about three similarities and three differences they noticed between the novel and the movie.  If you would like a sneak peak of this assignment click here!

Phys. Ed: The students headed down to the gym for some circuit training before working on a few different basketball skills

Arts. Ed: Ms. Postma stopped by and took the students to the Arts. Ed room where they continued to work on their essays as well as their travel pictures.

Religion: Students continued their Human Rights Activists presentations and today we learned about Rosa Parks and how they made a difference in our world.

Grade 8 Math: Students continued to work on their 4.4 assignments and were given an overview for their quiz on Monday.  *Don't forget to start studying this weekend for our unit end exam next Friday.

During the last hour of the day we headed down to the gym for the second installment of our Staff vs. Student sports game or better known as the "Staff vs. Student Smackdown".  Today the teachers took on the students in a game of volleyball. The students did an excellent job and made it a close game, but unfortunately the teachers came out with the win today. Hats off to the students for a well played game!
