It's been a very busy week in the classroom. The students are completing initial reading, writing and math diagnostics and delving into their assignments. I've been in the primary classes this week, and it is amazing how much the kids' learning has improved even in the last two weeks.
The grade 3 and 6 students should be taking home their individual EQAO results this week.
Next week, we will host our first Sharing Assemblies. The assemblies are a time where we get to honour students who have displayed exemplary character traits. The trait for September is Respect. I really love the sharing assemblies because I think it is really important to recognize the good things the students are doing around the school! They also give a leadership opportunty for our grade eight students as they lead the assemblies.
At the end of next week, Mr. Elias will be retiring. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for all that he has done at LKS. He began his career in the early Toronto Board and has taught a variety of subjects here including special education, physical education and computers. He has been an active member of many committees and we will miss his expertise, especially in the area of IT! We wish him the best of luck in the future!
Have a nice weekend.
