What We Learned Today...January 23rd

Working hard during Math class!

ELA: This morning we continued to explore the mystery of Oak Island the elaborate "Money Pit" that has stumped people for the past three hundred years.  After reading the short story last class, we delved a little deeper into this mystery by watching the documentary titled, Encounters with the unexplained: The Mystery of Oak Island.  After watching, students have been tasked with writing a persuasive paragraph about which theory they believe is responsible for the "Money Pit".

Here's the video:

Phys. Ed: The students headed to the gym and they continued to work on their Basketball skills by participating in a full scrimmage.

Arts. Ed: Over the period, the students worked on some impressive and incredibly hhumorous Improv skits based off of common phrases

AR: After lunch the students were given a half hour period of AR because they missed it this morning so we could watch the full documentary about Oak Island.

Grade 8 Math: Students were given the entire period to finish up their textbook assignment from yesterday and work on their 5.4 handouts.  *Don't forget we will have our quiz on Monday, January 26th.

Drug Presentation: This afternoon we were joined by Bob who gave a presentation to our class about the effects of drugs and substance abuse.  Bob works in many Regina Catholic Schools with the goal of promoting drug awareness among young adults.
