What We Learned Today...January 7th

Getting some physical activity during indoor recess!

ELA: We started out the day with our usual AR period before we officially closed down the 2014 House Cup.  Congratulations to Slytherin, who squeaked out the House Cup victory over Gryffindor!

Genius Hour: Due it being the first full band day of 2015, the students who remained behind were given an additional period to work on their Genius Hour projects.

Religion: Today we started out the period by watching the video "Opening Doors and Hearts" by WestJet and talked about how this relates to the message of "following in Jesus' footsteps". Students were then tasked with writing a brief three question reflection on the video.

French: The students spent their first French class of the new year reviewing key terms and concepts from last year before they move on tomorrow.

Science: We officially kicked off our new unit, "Cells, Tissues and Organ Systems".  Over the hour we learned about what exactly cells as well as the differences between the Holistic worldview and the Reductionist worldview in regards to living things.
