Cleaning Up the Capital

Hello,

This morning, we had our first three presentations of our book reviews. Chelsea, Joe and Alex did a great job telling us about their books, while projecting their voices and making eye contact. We look forward to hearing from William, Carter, Michael and Justin D tomorrow.

Next, we did some self-evaluation and peer assessment of reading tasks we completed last week, using the links below.

Nobody Knows the Difference - Short Answer

Fencing - begins at p.12

Multiple Choice - Answer Key

The students looked at the level 1 to level 4 answers and discussed where their answers fit in on the continuum, and why. Then they made additions to their responses to bump them up to level 3 or level 4 answers.

We also examined some EQAO prep questions involving transformations, and discussed the possible solutions and the reasoning behind them.

This afternoon was also a lot of fun, as Mrs. Izsak's class partnered up with my SK class to help clean the yard, as part of the "Cleaning Up the Capital" event. The schoolyard looks wonderful and the kids had a great time.

Please bring in your cans this week, so we can begin to make our lanterns. Also, please be sure to show your parents the confirmation handout from the Church, that outlines the upcoming meetings, which start this Wednesday. Finally, the EQAO Prep package the students received today, is due on Friday, so students are advised to work on it each night.

Have a good evening.

Mr. Skinner
