Hi Everyone,

We had a great day today!

Today We:

- Officially began on unit on patterning and algebra
-We did an introduction and played some games on the SMART board

Linear Growing Patterns Lesson

-we also did a few examples as a class, and will continue to look at t-tables and various representations of patterns tomorrow

-the class also had Drama today as it was day 5

We had a special presentation in our class from the Elementary Student Success Teacher, Mr. Munn. He came to talk to us about digital citizenship again. We had some great discussion, watched some movies, and did some group work. The students were actively engaged, and had a lot to share about social media, cell phones, online gaming, cyber bullying etc.

Here are some pictures of groups working on texting "Do's" and "Don'ts":








We also had science, the grade 8's did a lab, and observed onion and cheek cells under microscopes while the 7's did some partner/group work, furthering their understanding of succession.

The Grade 7 Questions were homework if they were not completed in class.

Here are some pictures of our grade 8 future scientists/lab technicians:


Fouz and Wessex hard at work.
Avery making some observations.


Partners Ashley and Destiny investigate.
Layla multi-tasking.







Presten checking to make sure
Collin's got the right idea.















After science, we had music and started learning how to play the glockenspiel. I hope to get some videos of the students playing next music class. It sounded great, especially for our first time.
