What We Learned Today...May 14th

Listening to the quartet play!

ELA: We started out our morning similar to each of the others this week as students continued writing their Persuasive and Expository Writing Assessments.  Both Grade 7 and 8 students worked on their final copies over the period.  Unfortunately the hour was cut short due to a Severe Weather Drill, so students were given the remainder of our Math class today to finish up their assessments.

String Quartet: Shortly after lunch we headed to the gym to listen to the wonderful String Quartet perform numerous songs for us as well as teach us about the different instruments that were being played.  The highlight of their performance was definitely their final song! Have a listen in the video below:

ELA: As stated above, after we arrived back from the String Quartet students continued to work on their Writing Assessments instead of our usual Math class.

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day students got into their Colonization Simulation groups for their first post-war meeting.  Groups have changed quite a bit due to the deaths that occurred last week and we were also introduced to a new group, the Irish Immigrants.
