Today students completed a journal entry.  Predictions for the novel, The Outsiders, were checked.

Students then reviewed the function of a noun by watching the short School House Rock video on nouns, and by highlighting nouns from a selection from The Outsiders.

Finally, we read half of chapter one together.  The rest of chapter one was assigned for homework with the promise of a short quiz on Thursday.

Today we began researching a personal past.  Students will work to provide a history for the evidence that they have collected.

Students then worked on their personal symbols.

Today students completed their taste tests.

Students also worked on a lab assessment rubric.

Today students worked to complete their letters to themselves.  This has been a longstanding tradition at PHSS.  Grade seven students write to themselves a letter that is to be opened upon graduation from secondary school.  The finished product will be locked away until such a time!

Students have also been looking at parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections.

Finally, we have begun reading the novel Touching Spirit Bear.
