Assessments: This week the children will be sitting the Grade 3 Storytown Benchmark Mid-Year Assessment. This assessment is part of our normal classroom literacy program. It is also good practice for their TerraNova tests coming up in May. The assessments will be sent home next week so parents can see their child’s achievement levels.
Other news
This week is Heroes Week where we focus on what it means to be a hero rather than a bully. We will look at our school’s definition of a bully as “an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally cause harm to others. Bullying is characterized by in imbalance of power or strength. Behaviors may include: verbal harassment, physical assault, name calling, exclusion, social isolation, coercion, or cyber bulling through cell phones or the use of the internet.” Our class will look at how we can stand up to bullies (be a powerful bystander) and how we can be a good friend to others.
