Dear colleagues,
We are hoping the flu season is not hitting many of us too badly. The weather continues to be cold so
please look after yourself and the students with regards warm enough clothing during recesses.
This Wednesday, we will continue our learning on assessment for the first hour. Please, bring your
assessment tools and tasks to the meeting so that you can do some self-analysis and assessment of the
current assessment tasks and tools you have designed. Again, it is important that the tool is something
that you have designed and used/planning to use to find out if learning took place.

During the second hour of the Wednesday session, the Gr 5 teachers and respective EAL, Learning Support
Teachers and Learning Support Assistants will meet with the Gr 6 team and Liz Andrews to launch
the students’ transition from Elementary to Secondary School.
Other teachers use the second hour for collaborative planning in the Multipurpose Room.
This will allow the Specialist teachers to connect with the classroom teams.
