Notes on DJ:

DJ is a pleasure to have in class. I really enjoy his sense of humor. DJ is an enthusiastic student who brings a lot of energy to his schoolwork. DJ consistently works hard even when the work is not always easy for him. DJ struggled to understand his Novel this term but he kept focussed and asked questions wehn he was unclear about a word or a particular phrase. I want to help DJ improve his English Language Skills next term. Next term I would like to see DJ do more writing. Next term DJ will be given the opportunity to work regularly in a journal and also to write compositions in response to books he has read (both fiction and nonfiction). DJ will have the opportunity to put his writing through the Writing Process with the goal being to improve his ability to edit and revise his own writing by bringing it through the process of: Brainstorm, Revision and Publication. DJ will therefore receive more comprehensive support in his Language Arts program to help improve his skills in this area. DJ is encouraged to complete Tumblebook activities at home as well as working through assignements on Spelling City. DJ needs to read regularly at home if he is to improve his literacy skills. You'll find, in the coming term, that all of the work assigned from LST for DJ will be available to view anytime on our website at: mrw-student-page.wikispaces.com. It is been a pleasure working with DJ this past term. I look forward to working with him in Term 3.

Notes onStefani:

Stephanie has produced some outstanding work this term; she has shown herself to be resourceful, independent, motivated and creative student! Stefani produced three outstanding book reports based on novels that she read this term. Stephanie can be very proud of the work she's done. Stephanie has been working with information in a variety of ways and has shown herself to be able to work with information and respond to what she has read in a variety of ways. Stephanie has produced: symbolic posters character analysis sheets, written reflections, reviews, timelines and summaries. It's been wonderful to see. I would like to encourage Stephanie to continue to read and write at home as this will form the cornerstone of an even greater ability to express herself open up pathways for her thinking. Stephanie has been working to improve the grammatical elements of her work this past term. She worked closely with a student volunteer and revised and edited her work with support. Stephanie showed a good understanding of fractions as wello. She was able to both do the work and explain effectively the concept behind the skill. There is very little I would say to Stephanie as ways to improve her work except to say: keep up the great work! You'll find, in the coming term, that all of the work assigned from LST for Stefani will be available to view anytime on our website at: mrw-student-page.wikispaces.com. I look forward to working with Stefani in term 3.

Notes on DJ:

Notes on Kaeson:

At times Kaeson has been very motivated and at other times he has complained about the work he has to do. It is typically a pleasure working with Kaeson, however, even if he finds some of the Language Arts actiities not to his liking. For the most part, Kaeson showed a good understanding of his novel, Stone Fox, but there were times when he seemed to find it difficult to answer the questions pertaining to the novel. Next term Kaeson will have the opportunity to work through reading comprehension questions in a program called, Raz-kids in which he will read stories, have them read to him, answer comprehension quesitons and record monthly samples of his reading to better evaluate his progress as a reader. Kaeson has written some longer compositions for his classroom teacher and seemed enthusiastic at the prospect of creating an original story. Kaseon has been encouraged not to mumlbe when talking in class as it is not always esy to understand what it is he's trying to say otherwise. Kaeson seems to genuinely want to do well; he put in a good effort in Math activitites and was often able to clearly demonstrate how to perform a particular skill. Kaeson really enjoys being able to work on the computer; I would encourage him to work at home on logic puzzles in Math Playground, listen to audio books on Tumblebooks or work through any of the vocabulary activities on Spellingcity.com. Kaeson has started to take more initiative with his homework. I have put in a new system for him and other students that should make it easier to keep track his homework assignements. You'll find, in the coming term, that all of the work assigned from LST for Kaeson will be available to view anytime on our website at: mrw-student-page.wikispaces.com. I look forward to working with Kaeson next term.
