Hello Families of Division 10,

Here are some things to note:

Pro D Day

April 26th is a Pro D Day and the school will be closed.

School Photos

Students who began attending school in January will have the opportunity to take their school photo tomorrow morning in the gym. They will be called down during class to get their picture taken.

At Home Student Portfolio Share April 27 - 30

We are pleased to invite you to take part in our first At-home/Virtual Student Portfolio Share. Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, we regretfully will not be able to host families into our schools. Instead of meeting in person, your child has made a reflective comment on a few work samples for you to look through on Freshgrade. Their personal reflections on their work samples are available for you to review the week of April 27-30.

Our goal is to celebrate all that the students have accomplished this year and to make visible the growth that has taken place.  Please take the time to go through your child’s Freshgrade portfolio with your child. To make the experience meaningful for both you and your child, we ask that you take a few minutes to fill out a parent response form.

Please return the completed parent response by Wednesday May 5.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PARENTS BEFORE PORTFOLIO SHARE

As we look forward to our Student Portfolio Shares, we have compiled the following list of suggestions, which will help ensure a successful experience for you and your child.

BEFORE THE PORTFOLIO SHARE

Make this a time when your child has your undivided attention.    

Pick a special spot around your house.

Allow your child to direct the PORTFOLIO SHARE he/she has prepared for you.

DURING THE PORTFOLIO SHARE

Focus on the positives and smile!

Employ active listening skills:

Use eye contact

Maintain positive body language

Listen attentively

Paraphrase

Offer encouraging comment

Ask open-ended questions.  For example:

Tell me more about this.

Is this your draft copy or final copy?

If you did this again, what might you do differently?

Did you do this work individually, with a partner, or in a group?

Show me the steps you took to complete the project.

Tell me something new you learned as you worked on this.

Look for the development of thinking skills and ideas expressed in writing. Emphasis may not have been placed on spelling and grammatical structure in these assignments.

Provide encouragement for future growth.

AT THE CLOSING OF THE PORTFOLIO SHARE

Share 3 compliments with your child before suggesting 1 area for improvement.

The forms are attached to this post and it will be sent home with your child in their planner today.

Hello Families of Division 10,

At this point we have no reason to expect a school or system wide change, but Fraser Health has been asking more whole classes to self-isolate in the last month when there have been exposures.

In the event that our class is asked to self-isolate and switch to online learning, I will be using email as the primary form of communication to schedule check ins and virtual meetings, however for urgent communication needs, please be aware that any phone calls made by me will appear as a private caller.

To access assignments I will have them posted on our class blog which is https://sd41blogs.ca/diepr/ or it can also be accessed through the Suncrest website under the Staff tab. Completed assignments can be posted on Freshgrade for me to review and comment on. It is encouraged that families be familiar with accessing all the programs mentioned above as well as Raz-kids so that any necessary transitions to online learning can be made smoothly.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these uncertain times,

Rebecca Diep

Hello Families of Division 10,

This is a friendly reminder that if you are running late to school in the morning please go straight to the classroom door with your child and knock loudly on the door. It is important to stay with your child until they are greeted at the door because there may be times when we are out of the classroom. If after a few minutes there is no response then please call the school.

Thank you,

Rebecca Diep

Hello Families of Division 10,

On Wednesday April 7th, we will be participating in a virtual field trip through a zoom session from 10:30am - 11:30am with the Space Centre. Many students in Division 10 show interest in space, science and astronauts, so we are excited to have this opportunity to begin our inquiry. We will not have our camera on during the zoom session, but I will be able to ask questions or wonderings that our class comes up with in the chat.

Check out the link for more information on the session:
