What We Learned Today...September 19th




ELA: This morning we started out the day with a special Orange Shirt Day liturgy in the gym before heading back to our classroom to work on the Persuasive Writing Assessments.

Genius Hour: Once the students finished their topic meeting with me, they officially started Genius Hour as they began researching important information for their topic/questions.

Religion: After lunch we took some time to go through the September 11th assignments that the students handed in last week. As we went through these assignments we had a chance to talk about the importance of writing using supporting details as well as other key expectations for quality Grade 8 work.

Math: Students were given the entire period to work on the 2.3 assignments and begin the Unit Review from Pg. 70 if they completed their assignments early.

*Bresciani Bunch Voluntary Cross Country Meet:
Last week Ms. Weafer spoke at our weekly assembly about Cross Country and indicated that the turn out for Grade 8 students at these events are pretty dismal.  After talking to the class about this we decided it might be a nice idea to run this event as a team and support the few Grade 8's at Deshaye that are currently running these races. I'm so happy that so many students in our class are on board with this and I can't wait to see the mob of Deshaye Grade 8's crossing the finish line later this week!
