This week many of our middle school students participated in the Kiwanis Festival. At the festival, the students get the opportunity to perform and listen to other schools. I'd like to thank Mr. Samotowka for conducting and organizing this event, and to Mr. Goldberg for conducting.
As I mentioned before, staff have begun their team planning for second term. The focus for each team is listed below. Each grade team will deliver similar lessons and then participate in a marking session during second term. The following indicates the focus for each grade team.
• Kindergarten-Reading Strategies and working with 5s and 10s
• Grade 1 – Problem Solving
• Grade 2 – Persuasive Writing
• Grade 3 – Report Writing
• Grade 4 - Problem Solving
• Grade 5 - Problem Solving
• Grade 6 - Summarizing
• Grade 7 - Summarizing
• Grade 8 - Summarizing
Next week, we will be able to post our Report Card Achievement Summary.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
