Snowy Day


We had a very unusual day at school. Due to the snowy weather and students arriving late, we had a late start to our academic day. As a result we did not do a math lesson nor did we work on our inquiry unit. Instead, we used the time for writing conferences. I have now met with each student that was at school today and discussed their strengths and weaknesses in persuasive writing in letter format. Each students knows what to focus on for improvement in their next writing assessment.

We also got started on term 2 reading assessments. I met with 4 students. We reviewed each student's individual results in the term 1 reading assessment as a way for students to be aware of and keep in mind areas of weakness.

Students who did not begin working on their reading assessments worked on completing their digestive system graphic stories. Some students also worked on making decorations for next week's Christmas concert.

Our class was called down for the ArtReach workshop midday.

The Carolling excursion to Streetsville was cancelled due to the weather today.
