What a busy week we have had in room 8! The students have been working hard on their event centre plans, and are getting very excited for our trip to the Saddledome on the 25th! Today we worked on our TWAS writing, and the students had a chance to assess their writing using the rubric we created as a class. I then took the opportunity to mark their piece using the same rubric. Please take a look at the rubric and the writing together with your child and talk about what a specific goal they may have in terms of their writing. Please write their goal down in their book and send it back to school on Monday! If you have not done so already, please sign up for a Parent Teacher Interview time for next Thursday or Friday. Have a great weekend! Mrs. Giborski :)
