This week in writing students have been discussing the difference between criteria and a continuum. Using our facts from our Who Would Win?, and criteria we created as a class, students worked in groups to make a 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each of the pieces of writing had to meet the criteria. This brought on a discussion about how a piece of writing may have all the criteria, but it is still quite simple. Students have been exploring ways to improve their writing, and will continue to use this continuum to determine their next steps.
This afternoon students had music and gym. We have been exploring circus during gym - ask your student which is their favourite station and why!
Today I sent home the new field trip forms for Fish Creek Park. Unfortunately, in yesterday's form there was a photocopying error. I apologize for the mix-up, and any inconvenience! Please return the NEW form to me by Wednesday, January 18th.
Scholastic orders are also due back by Friday, January 20th.
Have a wonderful evening!
