Click above to view Today, students started the day off by beginning their physical and health education self-assessment. They completed their 2 lap run around the school grounds, sit-ups, and push-ups. The purpose of this is to compare their results when we do it again in the second and final term. The hope is that their results continue to improve all year! Later, students also completed a self-assessment for reading. They read a poem and wrote about reading strategies that they were aware of and how they used them to find the big idea of what they read. This will give me a great idea of what the students know and what they have to learn! It is exciting for me as a teacher to do this at the beginning of the year. In the afternoon, we started had our first inquiry lesson in the library. Learning how to 'inquire' will be extremely important this year in Social Studies and Science.
