Today, students had their first vocabulary quiz. All students improved compared to the pre-test they competed at the beginning of the week. All students will move towards mastery this year. You will all improve in all subject areas! Mr. Hong and I won't have it any other way. Self-regulation is an important skill to have. We all have different strategies we use to help us regulate our actions and emotions. You will be learning many skills and strategies that can help you be successful learners this year. Like anything, this takes time and practice. We have already seen significant improvements in all of you compared to your self-regulation skills from Gr. 6. As always, please share the class website with your parents! |
