We'd like to thank Mr. Owen for donating the amazing trees to the school. They are beautiful and make the school yard look terrific!
We had a beautiful Remembrance Day Assembly last Friday. Below are a few photos of our event.
Please make sure you purchase your Social ticket at http://www.sagoto.com/lkspc/social. Thanks to Mrs. Needham and her committee for organizing this event on November 25th.
Thank you for participating in our interviews this week. I found an article that may be useful when talking to your child about their progress reports: http://www.familyeducation.com/school/report-cards/talking-your-child-about-report-cards. We do encourage you to praise your child's achievements, but it is not recommended to give rewards (i.e. money) for each "A". You want to praise children for the effort they put into their work and for their learning and understanding, not the letter or numerical grade they got. Students are going to feel like failures if they get a "B" another time. According to S. Bourgeois and J. Boberg (Oct 2016), token rewards reflect the message that there is no inherent value in the learning process.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy this lovely weather. Remember, Friday is a Professional Activity Day as interviews continue.
