Critical friends make our work better

The grade five six class was practicing the critical friends protocol with an art project. Last week we did our first picture. Now we used our critical friends to help our second try. Zack commented on how much better his picture was and how proud he was of his work.
Taking the time to get feedback and stressing that we want beautiful work has payed off. Loved all the smiles that went with this project.

Library

Today Mr.Albano spent library time helping our grade one and two students figure out the difference between fiction and non fiction.  We are very greatful to have such a talented parent volunteer and excellent tag player.

Terrific Kids for October

Riverside School is made up terrific Kids but we are acknowleding students that are consistently modeling our Tribes agreements and our learner attributes. Every month the students will self assess their citizenship skills and their learner attributes. Students will have the opportunity to be acknowledged as many times as they deserve. We have a display case set aside for our photos.
Congratulations to the hard working students of October
