We've had a great week back. Everyone is settling back into the routine of the school day. The grade three classes spent time reviewing their learning skills and made goals for the remainder of first term. Their artwork is displayed in the halls.
The teachers continue to finish up units with final assessments needed to complete report cards over the next few weeks. Mrs. Norton and I continue to work with staff sharing best practices. As we visit the classrooms we are looking for evidence of differentiated instruction, anchor charts, descriptive feedback, success criteria and how they have co-constructed learning with the students; all effective teaching strategies.
Middle School Houseleague (volleyball) began and will continue over the next week, followed by grade 4-6 Houseleague. Participants will be playing in a European Handball tournament. It should go right until March Break. The Jr Boys' Basketball team continues practice with Mr. Ellerker, as well as the Jr/Sr Girls' Volleyball Teams with Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Sunde, Mr. Kuru and Mr. Ross. Mr. Bracht continues hockey practices in the wee hours on Thursday mornings.
We are welcoming Ms. Dellandrea, an LKS parent, who will be presenting a workshop to our grade 8 classes on social media safety tomorrow.
Have a great weekend.
