What We Learned Today...May 12th

New teacher for the afternoon!

ELA: Once again this morning the Grade 7 students headed to Ms. Zenuk's room right after announcements to  write their Expository Writing Assessment while the Grade 8's remained in the classroom to write their Persuasive Writing Assessment.  Yesterday students used the hour to research their topics and today they spent the period working on drafting and editing.

Genius Hour: Students spent the forty minute period working on their Genius Hour Final Projects. Students must have their final product completed by June 8th as we will be beginning presentations that week.

Religion: After lunch we continued to work our way through the Seven Sacraments and learned more about Reconciliation as well as Confirmation.

Survey: As part of the Deshaye focus on School effectiveness, students took some time to complete a quick online survey entitled "Tell Them From Me". Information about this survey went home with students today and if you would like more information please contact our Principal, Monica Norris.

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day we followed up our simulated war from last week by learning about historical battles and wars that occurred during the time of Colonization.  Students also learned the importance to certain events that occurred during our simulated war last week as they reflected real events in history.
