This week I had great fun working with Mr. White in PE. He had the students record their attempts at a task and their reflections on the activity. This is a great way of documenting what the students are doing in class and I hope a few of the students select the piece of work for their portfolio.
Grade 8 Teaching
I also had the opportunity to observe some of the Grade 8 students as they taught the Grade 5's about Digital Citizenship. This is a great example of cross divisional teaching. I was very impressed with the work that I saw and noticed that some great conversations were had.
Citations Galore
The grade 5 classes were also instructed on how to cite images that they use from the Internet and how to find images that are Creative Commons. This is an importance step in developing an awareness of academic honesty.
