Instead of first term reports this year, we've just sent home an early progress report. The progress report really highlights areas of need in learning skills, which have been moved to the first page. The academics have been moved to page 2 and simply note: Progressing Well, Progressing Very Well or Progressing with Difficulty. Hopefully you find the document clear and my comments helpful.
Along with the reports, you'll find an appointment for an interview. I was able to give first picks to everyone who submitted a request, but had to guess a bit for those that did not. Please note that there's more availability on Friday, but not much left on Thursday evening.
Along with these reports, we've been moving along the past couple of weeks...looking at geometry and getting a bit more into the science and social studies strands as well. Grade 6's are working on a powerpoint based on a Documentary about a contemporary issue for Aboriginal Canadians, while Grade 5's are finishing up their human body research projects. I expect to give quite a bit of classtime over to these projects this week, while the 5's finish up.
