What We Learned Today...September 4th


ELA: This morning we officially started our unit on Greek Mythology by first learning about what Mythology is and how ancient civilizations used it to explain some of the phenomenons they didn't understand.  We then dove right into Greek Mythology by reading the myth about the creation of the world and it's first inhabitants...Titans!

Health: Before we get into the nitty gritty details of Health this year, I'll spending some time during this class to teach a few essential skills that I believe will benefit the students for the rest of the year as well as High School.   Today we focused on how to give an effective presentation in front of an audience.  Students learned about everything from what information should be on slides, to font size/colour and how to successfully keep your audience engaged.  Students will work at applying these skills next week when they will be tasked with preparing their own small presentation about themselves.

Religion: After lunch students were given the half hour period to work on the Coat of Arms assignment they started yesterday.

Math: Students spent the entire period finishing up the textbook assignment from yesterday and working on the new 2.1 handout.
