What We Learned Today...February 5th

Snapshot of our practice mystery skype this morning!

ELA: We kicked off the day with a half hour period of silent reading during AR before moving on to our practice Mystery Skype.  Once again today, students got into their roles and we had another trial run with me skyping with them from another room in the school.  The students have really impressed me with how well they work together on this project and have been able to defeat me two times in a row!

Career Ed/Homework:  Students were given the period to work on the workplace skills assignment they began last class.  If students finished up early they were given the rest of the period to read or work on any other homework they had.

Religion: Now that students have finished up editing their prayers, today the spent the half hour, typing up their good copies on the Surface Pros.

French: Ms. Bachiu stopped by just in time to give the students their quiz, that she so graciously switched from last week to this week!

Social Studies:  During the last hour of the day, students got into their Colonization Simulation groups.  Today was the official beginning of the simulation as groups were given their first groups instruction sheets.  Each group also had to make decisions that could impact the welfare of their groups.
