Today Division 1 and 2 spent the morning working on their Plant Identification and First Nations Use Project. We were so impressed with how well groups worked together. Students were engaged for over an hour on their projects. I saw and heard many students asking for both peer and teacher feedback to improve their projects. They then took this feedback and applied it to make their projects even better. It was amazing to see you all using the BIG 6 Principles of Learning. That is what taking OWNERSHIP over your learning looks like! AWESOME JOB!! In the afternoon, we got our Inquiry Knowledge Building Groups and created some criteria/ground rules for meeting and then dove into our questions! Again, we were so impressed with the ownership and self regulation shown by the group. Keep it up.....because the year is just underway and.....THE LEARNING NEVER STOPS!!! |
