Hello Grade Fives,

Today, in a correct paragraph form, I would like you to tell me about something you are proud of about yourself.

Each of you has more than one area you can be very proud of; I would like you to share just one.

Term Two Learning Behaviours!

Hello Grade Fives!

Well, our first term is well behind us and you have all been working hard on developing good learning behaviours: listening carefully to lessons and instructions, completing work carefully and completely, checking your work over for errors, preparing for quizzes, and asking for help as needed.

As we move deeper into term two, I would like you to share which learning behaviour(s) you are going to work on particularly hard. In today’s response, and in a correct paragraph form, please tell me which behaviours you have chosen.

As always, I look forward to reading your responses. I will make every effort to help you practice these learning behaviours.

Love, Mrs. French
