It's been a great week at LKS with our basketball teams heading into quarter and semi-finals and my grade 7 & 8 Girls Yoga Club finished off first term with a wonderful pot-luck lunch. We do like to exercise and eat great food at LKS!
As you know, the LKS staff is committed to creating strong instructional programs. Every year, staff participate in a variety of professional development opportunities. One of our goals over the next couple of years is to create a school-wide Media Literacy Plan that staff can refer to when creating long-range plans. Today we started this process. Mr. Ross, Ms. McGee, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Tyndall worked with TDSB Instructional Leaders on the Primary portion of the plan. We will be sharing the plan with you throughout the process.
During Monday's staff meeting, staff will also engage in discussions regarding our on-going learning about "Student Inquiry" We will be reading and discussing the article,"8 Essentials for Project-Based Learning". The article suggests strategies that teachers can use to create meaningful inquiry that engages students.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
