Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the Golden Week and soon the month of May! The next two days are going to be busy with
preparation and execution of the student-led conferences so that every child can demonstrate effectively and
confidently their progress with an abundance of evidence and well-practiced phrases for describing their learning
at their perusal. The student-led conferences are always a wonderful culmination of the school year with a strong
sense of student agency, self-directedness, and demonstration of rigorous learning at Canadian Academy.

Congratulations to the Grade 5 team and all the teachers who supported the very successful PYP Exhibition last
week! The level of student agency, the successful choice of the main theater and the atrium as venues, and the
well-planned preparation and finally running of the evening made it a wonderful success story for grade 5
students. The excitement and perhaps a challenge for the grade 5 students and teachers is to return back to the
so important routines, mathematics, readers and writers workshop, starting on Monday and then continue with
busy routines after the golden week.

The teacher appreciation dinner gathered about 40 CA faculty members together at the Hotel Plaza on Rokko
Island for food, drinks and even some dance moves on Saturday. Thank you, PTA!
