As mentioned in the previous blog, this week is student-led interviews. The students have worked hard preparing their portfolios for you to view. We have added one sample piece of writing with a 'two stars and a wish' critique. This means we have discussed two great things about this piece of writing to share with you and one wish for how we will improve it for next time. There will also be one sheet with goals as well as some thoughtful writing about learning skills. I decided not to add math as it has been going back and forth regularly and you have had a chance to see the work and feedback I have provided. As well, you have worked with your child so are probably well aware of areas of strengths and need. Having said this, of course if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to bring them up at the interview. We have a very tight timeline (especially on the Thursday night) so I hope you will understand if I am keeping an eye on the time and will be keeping things flowing along.
Bullying Awareness Week
A focus this week has been on 'Bullying' or rather the fact that we are looking at ways to build awareness and understanding about the different forms of bullying behaviour and what to do if this happens to any of our students. A big focus has been on demonstrating 'kindness' and 'compassion' as a school. Did you know that our students created cards for the veterans? Did you know we are having a school wide canned food drive for 'Compassion House'? It is so wonderful to see older students model the organization of food drives or lead assemblies for the younger students. We are looking forward to a school-wide assembly tomorrow and a group activity with Mr. Earl's class.
