Mr. Rennie's Class

  With Spring Break almost upon us I reflect for the last time in March. The time is flying by. The students didn't do a lot of reflecting last week, it was more a sweat and tears, down and out work-fest. They were asked though, to determine how they were doing toward completion on their websites and to set some short term goals acoordingly. Since 1/3 of them did not yet complete that project I guess we have some work to do regarding time management.

  This week I plan to have them look back and decide how they did and what they'll need to do for the next project to be more successful. Everyone has room to grow in this regard. They will have a science project to complete next term for sure and maybe an art one as well depending on Mrs. Kay's plans and progress. I hope time management and how crucial it is will become apparent to the kids. I also hope they're starting to see see the value of an up to date notebook. I hope self awareness and acceptance of their own individual challenges will develop. Some surely found that sharing a project with a partner or team is a whole different way of working on a ask than being on your own.
