An amazing week of learning together as a team.  The grade 5 have launched into planning their Human Body STEM design challenge, and the grade 6 are preparing for their Cedarvale Debate.  We went bowling which helped to build and reinforce relations within our class community.  Today our learning goal was to access, investigate, and explore how to use Make Makes, Microbit, and Green Screen to demonstrate your learning in future inquiry challenges.  On Monday Ms. Jensen, Christina and I have rearrange our learning space I hope you are excited to try it out and discover new sides to who you are as a person.

It was a pleasure to meet with many of the parents during parent/teacher interviews on Thursday and Friday.  I look forward to meeting with others throughout next week.  Students will be asked to reflect on their Progress Report next week and to consider the following (as these were a common trend in our class community of learners):

• Daily reading at home and at school
• In class (at home as needed) task completion (both online and paper & pencil tasks)
• Self Advocating, 
• Risk Taking, 
• Asking Questions
• Contributing member of your own learning (and the learning of others)
• Multiplication Facts
•

We are really growing as a class community and I am so proud of all the changes some of you have made this week in terms of learning and respecting others in our class community.  This week we started to research and promote for Remembrance Day.  We began our unit of Geometry and learning to create shapes using protractor and compass.  In teams, we started to use the success criteria to write a collaborative descriptive paragraph. Can't wait for next week!

Have a great weekend!
