What We Learned Today...June 4th

French ready to negotiate!

Math: We started out our morning the same as yesterday by working on the Math Diagnostic Exams.  Over this period, the Grade 7's headed to Ms. Zenuk's room to finish up their exam while the Grade 8's remained behind to continue working on theirs.  (Instead of Religion after lunch, we had an extra Math class to give the students more time to work on their exams)

Genius Hour: Today was the last Genius Hour work period of the year and students worked incredibly hard putting the finishing touches on their projects.  We will be having our Genius Hour Expo on Monday and students will be sharing what they learned with the rest of the class.

Social Studies: During the last hour of the day we finally had our official Treaty Negotiations between the French Colonizers and the Plains Tribe as well as the British Colonizers and the Algonquian Tribe.  The groups did amazing job with the negotiations today! It was so exciting to listen in on their negotiations and hear all of the creative demands each side had and the counter-offers that were made in order to come to an agreement.  I can't wait until Monday when the groups will complete the second round of their negotiations and read the Treaties that both groups agreed upon.
