Yellow Portfolio Folders

Good Evening!

I sent students home with folders filled with work that has been completed in Math and Language.  Please have your child share it with you and send back to school tomorrow or Wednesday.  Should you have any questions about their work, the feedback given or their progress, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

With regards to the Ryan's Well reading activity, students completed the answers to the comprehension questions and then we worked together to improve our responses.  The answers that we came up with as a class are below.  We also looked at the EQAO exemplars and students were asked to compare their own answers and then self assess.  Hopefully, this process will allow for improvements with our next reading comprehension task which will be at the end of the week.

Ryan's Well - EQAO Reading Comprehension Activity

Answer #1
Wells are helpful to communities because if you don't have clean water to drink you can get sick.  In some countries, there are no indoor sinks and people have to walk for hours just to get clean water. 

Answer #2
Ryan is making a difference in the world by raising money for building wells so that people who don't have clean water can get clean water.  He also changes the world by going to two dozen countries to tell people about clean water.
