RAZ KID ASSESSMENT INFO WILL BE IN THE At home learning FOR THis WEEK! below is an explanation of how to complete the reading assessment found in raz kids...


You will see the above "Flight Check" on your Raz Kids Dashboard once your Reading Assessment has been assigned! 


For Parents:

Usually as students end their school year, teachers are able to do 1-1 reading assessments to best determine where to begin for the following year.  Since we unfortunately are not able to meet and read with each of our students we are asking for you to follow the detailed instructions below and complete the assigned reading task.  Your child will record themselves reading INDEPENDENTLY and the results will be shared with the teacher.
Teachers will use this information to help your child transition into the next grade and provide next year’s teacher with a great starting point.

If you are unable to complete this task due to computer difficulties please contact your child's teacher.

Please note that the task will take about 15 minutes and can only be done once and then will disappear from your child’s reading folder.  Thank you for helping us set your child up for success next year.

Hello Room 17! I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable long weekend and had the chance to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. As we are starting our school week technically on Tuesday, the At Home Learning is not due until Friday this week.  I will be posting the At Home Learning activities for Monday so if students want to get a head start on their work a bit earlier, you are more than welcome!  Look forward to connecting with everyone on Google Meet on Tuesday at 10am!
Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! I imagine that everyone tried their best to make their mom feel very special on Sunday and let them know how much they mean to them! 

I will post the At Home Learning on the Home Learning link and I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday at 10:00am for our Beach Party and a chance to share a book that they have read recently that they really enjoyed and want to share with others in the class! 

A reminder that there will not be any At Home activities on Friday as it is a school system wide PD day!  
Welcome to the first week of May! I hope that you are your family were able to get outside and have some safely distanced quality time together. I really was impressed by the number of students who were able to make a video to describe about the anatomy of various insects of create their own version, either on paper or with coloured clay! They were all very well done!

A reminder to students that next Sunday is Mother's Day and we will talk a little about some ideas of what you could do to let your mom know how special she is in all that she does for you!  The At Home Learning activities can be found on the Home Learning link on the blog! Thanks and look forward to our chat on Monday morning!
Happy Friday everyone!

  While exploring fun projects on various websites, I came upon one I thought might be fun to try. An architectural studio called Fosters + Partners have created some paper building templates that students can print out, fold, colour and use to build their own paper cities. I have included the PDF file HERE of the various templates. If you choose to create your own paper city, please feel free to take a picture and share it with me!  I have also included a link to their website HERE, the various activities are found in their News section of the website, including how to draw realistic trees too. 
Also, I updated the Pictures section and put the names beside those students who shared their favourite toys with us. Check and see how you did in your guessing!
