ISL Snow Show 2014

Congratulations on a well performed show. I am proud of all of you! The song and movements really showed what we are all working towards achieving this year. Nice work ISL Grade 5!

 

Let's Continue The Dance Party!

Today was AWESOME! Why? Well, shall I make a list using bullets? Yes!

• Watching rockets launch while it drizzled. Thanks grade 5... nice work
• Photographing my students swim and run in the pouring rain and finish the first "Aquathon" of the year for grade 3. Thanks Awesome Owls!
• Publishing our letters to our new student who joins us on Monday
• Eating a treat from the Bake Sale grade 4 put on to raise money for CCBRT, a cause near and dear to our hearts. Thanks Arran, especially since after our Economics unit you understood the direction "Get me something, anything chocolate... but make sure it is a good value for my money!"
• Eating a second surprise treat from the Bake Sale. Thanks Omar
• Enjoying our indoor recess dance party. Thanks MJ
• Cracking open the new math Student Journals and listening to cheers from the owlets
• Receiving high-fives from all of the students for a great week before they all departed to start their weekends
• Participating in a good student/parent meeting after school
• And last but not least... keeping the dance party going throughout the weekend with this video. Thanks Kid President

Have a productive, successful, enjoyable weekend 3R and I will see you rested and ready for another awesome week on Monday!

Assembly Reflection

After our assembly last Friday, I thought about how best to get my students to reflect on the experience. I created this reflection sheet to use with our conversation.

As a teacher tip, at the bottom of the document, where it says Peer feedback for me, I had the students leave their paper on their desks and everyone circulated and wrote positive feedback to their classmates. After about 5 minutes, the students returned to their desks and read the positive comments. It worked out really well and I will use this process for peer feedback in the future.
