What We Learned Today...April 23rd

Playing Music in Arts. Ed

ELA: This morning we started out our day with AR from 9:00 to 9:30.  Our classroom has been doing an awesome job reading this month! It's been hard keeping up with the AR tickets as students have been testing like crazy.  Great job everyone!    After AR we officially kicked off our Environmental Unit by discussing the statement, "The choices I make influence others" as well as the idea that one person can make a difference.  We then read the children's book, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss together and talked about Dr. Seuss' message and why this book was selected to begin our unit.

Science: After lunch we continued where we left off yesterday by learning about different Organ Systems and how they work together to keep us alive.  We then reviewed some of the key terms from our unit and students were given an outline for their Unit Exam next week.

Grade 8 Math: Before we started working on our 8.2 assignments, students wrote a brief quiz on Socrative to see how well they understood the concepts from the video on Integers.  We then spent the rest of the class working on the 8.2 handout.

Video with Kindergartens: During the last hour of the day we headed to gym and joined our little buddies in filming our SWPBS video for the month end assembly.
