What We Learned Today...January 26th

Performing a hilarious "Bus Stop" skit in Arts. Ed!

ELA: Due to the assembly this morning we had a slightly shorter AR period.  *Students don't forget you need to meet your point club totals by Friday, February 13th in order to attend the Valentines Day dance.  After AR we moved on and read more about the history of Oak Island and the different attempts that have been made to uncover the mystery of the "Money Pit".  Tomorrow we will begin working on a persuasive paragraph on the theories of Oak Island.

Arts. Ed: Ms. Postma stopped by and the students officially finished their mini Improv unit by playing the hilarious games, "Bus Stop" and "Party Guests"!

Genius Hour: Students are now nearing the end of their first Genius Hour projects and spent the entire period today working and putting the final touches on their presentations.  We will be starting the presentations next Tuesday and I can't wait to see everyone's final products!

Grade 8 Math: We started out the class by writing the Surface Area quiz before students finished up their 5.4 handouts and began working on their Unit Review from their textbook.

Science: The first part of class was spent going through the Cell Labs that were handed in last week before we moved on and began looking more in depth at the different parts of both an animal and a plant cell.
