What We Learned Today...September 3rd

Working on their lists of Living and Non-Living Things!

ELA: This morning we headed to the Library right after announcements for a special presentation from Ms. Folk.  Over the hour she taught us how to effectively search for information on the various databases that we have access to at Deshaye.  This newly discovered knowledge will really come in handy for Genius hour as well as the Persuasive Writing Assessments at the end of the Month.

Religion: Our first theme of the year is "Who am I" and we kicked off the unit by beginning an assignment that tasked the students with creating a personal Coat of Arms.  Since we only had a short amount of time to work on this assignment today, students will have more time over the next few classes to complete it.

Math: Now that the students officially have the first Flipped Classroom lesson under their belt, they spent the entire class today working on the textbook assignment from Pg. 51.  (Due Dates are listed below)

Science: During the last hour of the day we headed outside and launched our unit on Biodiversity by searching for as many living and non-living things as we could find.  Once we had a sufficient amount of things written down we came inside to compare lists and determine what characteristics we thought differentiated between the two.  To conclude the class students compared their own list of living things characteristics with the official one from their textbooks and they scored an impressive 6/7! Well done!!
