Thinking About Essay Writing on Thursday

Dear Parents,

Some of our learning highlights on Thinking Thursday:

Plays in French

During our plays in french class we all did amazing! One of the plays that really amused me was the play with Mason Owen Kian Logan  and Tristan performed. I loved it because there was a lot  of action logan hit them all with "snowballs" after they each said their lines and then after Logan said his line they all jumped up and attacked him with snowballs! I was surprised when Suleman pulled it off with only one person. My group didn't know we had that much competition so ours wasn't as eye catching. Over all I was blown away!-Ainslee.A


Here are some photos of deep thinking, pulling evidence from the novel Fatty Legs to support our reasoning in our opinion essay. 

Mindful use of global mind

Student Perspectives:

We had an experience on writing essays over the past week so we can prepare ourselves for the higher grades. We are doing the essay on the book Fatty Legs.  -- Owen

When we got to write the essay we got to experience how it would be typing our very first opinion essay.  -- Temilayo

Here is the class created rubric that we are using for self assessment of the essays.


Today we did some thinking about emotional self regulation using the zones of regulation.  When you are in the green zone you are ready for focused learning.  Here are some photos of us designing a page to represent our thinking about experiencing the different zones.
