Thursday, September 8, 2016 - Day 5

We had an assembly to welcome new staff:  Miss Samborski (teacher), Ms. Neufeldt (E.A.), and Miss Silljer (intern) and all the new students to UCHS.  The grades also had a yelling contest and the grade 8's won.(I think.)  Next week is Welcome Week so watch for updates on each day's special events.

ELA 9B

We had a double class today and students read for 20 minutes total.  The students also had time to finish their Bio Poems, which are due Monday.  We also watched a video on  Literary Themes that can be viewed here.  See Miss Riddell for notes if you were away for football.  The students then started to analyze the poem "Identity" by Julio Noboa Polanco.

The students also completed 2 M.U.G. (mechanics, usage and grammar) worksheets.  If you left early for football you'll need to get the sheet for #2.

 



Computers 8

Today the students filled out a questionnaire about their Searching Habits and Knowledge.  We then did a search for how ancients spears are made and discussed:

• narrowing down search terms
• using - or ""
• evaluating the information we find

They also watched a video on Searching Tips:

Students then completed a mini search challenge and some had time to work on Hour of Code.

Good luck to the football team!  GO WARRIORS!
