Weekly Update: November 26-30

Hi Grade Three Community,

   Thank you to all who were able to make it out to the Primary Open house. It was so great to give you a glimpse into our Primary program here at WRCA.

This Friday report cards will be going home. I'm going to a chat with the class about what report card mean and what those little numbers say about their work. What I always stress to the students is that I write report cards for you the parents, but also for the students to understand how their doing and areas of improvement. That being said, I would love to hear that every student was able to sit down with their parents and discuss their report card. Another thing I stress with the kids is what the numbers mean. Here's a breakdown of what the numbers mean:

1. Not yet within expectations: Student needs help as they are not understanding the subject or are unable to perform this specific task.
2. Minimally meets expectations: Student is beginning to develop this skill or knowledge. They are still developing and more practise is needed. 
3. Fully meets expectation: Student is at grade level! They know the knowledge or are able to perform that specific task. BE VERY PROUD!
4. Exceeds Expectations: This is your child's gifting. A four means they are above grade level, so it's very rare. 

I hope this helps start the conversation. 

Upcoming events: 

• Dec. 12th: Whole School Christmas Concert! Two performances will take place that day. A matinee and an evening performance. Tickets will be available soon (these are free of charge).
