Learning updates are interim informal communications about progress at this point in the term. They are a little different than the formal report cards–the learning updates are focusing on literacy, numeracy, and work habits/behaviour, whereas a report card will cover more subject areas. It is similar to the meetings we had in October and November where we discussed goals. The learning updates provide information and feedback about how to continue growing forward as we enter into the rest of our school year. The formal report cards will be going home in February.
Please also check out the blogfolios for student reflections on learning–we are still learning how to self-reflect, and how to integrate Core Competency language into those reflections. Students have had various opportunities to work on their postings, so if your child does not have any reflections posted yet, this is a great opportunity to discuss why that might be.
Learning updates will be going home Wednesday December, 15.
