Term Two Learning Behaviours!

Hello Grade Fives!

Our first term is over and you have all been working hard to develop good learning behaviours: listening carefully to lessons and instructions, completing work carefully and completely, checking your work over for errors, preparing for quizzes, and asking for help as needed. Learning behaviours are not about marks, they are things you do, every single day, to help you become a stronger student. 

As we move into term two, I would like you to share which learning behaviour(s) you are going to work on particularly hard. In today's response, and in a correct paragraph, please tell me which behaviours you have chosen. If needed, please listen (text-to-speech) to your comment prior to posting it to me.

As always, I look forward to reading your responses. I am very interested in what you are planning to do this term. I will make every effort to help you practice these learning behaviours.

Love, Mrs. French
