Now that the first six weeks have passed, students have had several opportunities to show their learning in different subjects. Some have transitioned well into grade 7 and others are experiencing challenges, particularly with formal testing. Today we discussed strategies such as:
1. Asking for help before a test
2. Reviewing work daily
3. Focusing on vocabulary to help understand bigger ideas
4. Completing assigned review work to prepare for a test
5. Asking friends who do well, what they do to study for a test
Progress reports will go home in the second week of November reflecting work completed up to the end of October.
