Congratulations to everyone on a successful first week! We have set the expectations for the year and are the learning is in full swing! On Friday, the students had a busy day of learning! They continued learning about the 'LEARNING PROCESS' through the lens of the BIG 6 Learning Principles and their name card assignment and their personal collages. Students will learn to take full ownership of their learning by following learning intentions, co-creating success criteria, asking questions, going through the self/peer assessment process, and responding to timely descriptive feedback to push their learning forward. It is looking to be a fun and exciting year with the students of div. 2 |
