In language students started using the "I Read, I Think, Therefore" framework to answer reading response questions. The students first looked at some examples of other student work (from the EQAO website) to create success criteria.
After students came up with some success criteria to help guide them through a reading response question, they created a top notch shared answer.
In the weeks leading to the Holiday break, we will continue to practise so that students begin to answer reading response questions independently and at the same high level.
Students have made great gains in math so far, and continue to show us their growth daily! Students started their "Math Fluency" this week. Math fluency is a way for us to get students to get better at the math processes. The math processes we are working on first are representing and connecting. Students are given a problem and asked to communicate their knowledge and thinking of how they solved it. This week and next, we are putting special emphasis on representing thinking, knowledge and application then connecting representations. So far, this activity is working very well!
We have started working on our Holiday Extravaganza! It is a top secret project until the day of the concert. We can only tell you that it will be AWESOME! We hope to see you all on Thursday December 22 at 1:00 pm.
Students have been working very hard. Be sure to allow them to get some rest!
Have a fantastic weekend with your family.
