Celebrate the Learning

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."

-Benjamin Franklin 

This week in our Grade 5/6 class was full of excitement and meaningful preparation as the students geared up for two major events: their student-led conferences and the year-end concert.

The children took great responsibility in setting up the classroom environment for the conferences. They thoughtfully chose activities and projects they were proud to share with their families, showcasing their learning journey this year. It was wonderful to see them take ownership of their work and confidently prepare to lead discussions about their progress.

At the same time, the class was busy rehearsing for the year-end concert, scheduled for the same evening as the conferences. Balancing both preparations taught the students valuable skills in time management and teamwork. Their dedication truly paid off.

The evening was a fantastic success! Families enjoyed engaging with the students during the conferences, and the concert performances were lively and heartfelt. Everyone had a memorable time celebrating the hard work and growth of our Grade 5/6 learners.

We are so proud of the students for their enthusiasm, responsibility, and creativity. It was a joyful week full of learning and celebration!

Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.

Your homeroom teacher, 
Ms. Pam
