What We Learned Today...January 22nd



Religion: Today we were so excited to have Mr. Meyers join our class to give another one of his amazing presentations.  Over the hour we learned about different types of prayers, (Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication etc.) and also how to write an informal prayer.  This was an excellent presentation as it will tie in perfectly with our Religion class as we will be focusing on prayer writing.

Arts. Ed:  Ms. Postma stopped by and the students continued to practice their drama skills through great activities such as Party Guests and

Career Ed: Students continued to explore different skills they will need to be successful in school and then we began to look at various skills that employers look for in future employees.

ELA: We continued where we left off yesterday by finishing our handout on idioms then continuing to explore the Oak Island mystery.
