Wow…June already. I cant believe it..we have done so much and come so far since the beginning of September.
This year has been full of so many things that we have been involved in from way back at the beginning of the year with our eventual trip to Wonderland, Pink Day, Blue Day, our high fives at the end of the day, to spending every day together…learning, playing, laughing, reading, experimenting, painting, creating and trying new ways to explore our world and so much more. All of you have you grown up in front of my eyes. A truly amazing group of smart, fun, nice, respectful and sometimes silly bunch of people you all are.
Some of you have been Kindree Kids have been here since you were only 4 years old! Some of you have been with the Kindree family for a short time, but have made an impact on us in such time period.
Please write a paragraph, create a wordle of memories from each grade level that you’ve been in, your teacher and what you remembered most, friends you made and things that have had an impact on you. If you arrived this year, explain what this school, this class has done for you, what r your favourite memories of grade 5. Remember…we have travelled together and we will always travel together. Please remember to ask your parents if you forget some things that have happened to you or experienced throughout your Kindree career.
Music Monday was a program that was intended to create awareness of the need to include music in Canadian schools.
On this day, we would all like to hear why you like music and when and where do you listen to it most at home or at school. Are you a lover of all types of music, cultural music, music without words and do you engage with music by creating your own? See…if any of these were important to you, then there is value of music in school. D0 you enjoy music in school? Are there things you wish you could do in music class but are not able to? Is music present in other areas of your school day and not just in “music class”. Please tell us, we would love to hear about your musical experiences. Why is Music in Schools Important?
Please write a minimum of 6 sentences outlining and telling us anything and everything that you are excited about. Please include a catchy first sentence and a solid closing sentence. We can’t wait to read about what you are interested and excited about either things that you are involved with now or in the near future.
please read, respond and give us a “Your Say” paragraph on this complicated issue. About 250 million (about 8 times the total population of Canada) children between ages 5 and 14 work. About half of all child laborers work full-time. Many kids work in hard and often dangerous jobs. They do not go to school. Experts agree there is a lot kids can do to help child laborers everywhere. We read Branded and this book addressed this issue. How should we, Canada and the world react to this issue now as it appears it is not going away? Please give evidence from the text to support your answer.
Here are some websites that help support ending this problem.
Do you agree with change or is school fine the way it is. Think about it for a moment.
100 years ago, there were one room school houses where 10 kids ranging from grade 1-8 were in one class….now there are classes that are taught entirely over the internet using web-cams.
Does our traditional view of schools need to change and if so, how?
What are aspects of school that you like that you wouldn’t like to see change?
We live in a world where texting, tweeting and instant messenging or writing messages on a DS is a part of who you are as learners. Is spelling no longer important in 2013? If you think this way then you probably believe that spell check, invented spelling and other ways of communicating are more important than spelling a word exactly or the way the dictionary says . OR…. If you think that spelling tests, the dictionary and correct spelling is as important to you today as it was 100 years ago then you believe that correct spelling is very important.
Please explain why you think this…back up your answer and “check for errors..ooops…did I say that?”
