Here in the Learning Pod we have a group of boys who have been busy this year reading procedures on how to make things and then using those instructions to make a small project. Our first project was very simple, cutting cardboard into strips, cutting slits in it and then making cardboard constructions out of those strips of cardboard. Here we have some pictures of the cardboard constructions the students made, and also Nicholas Jessop has been kind enough to write a procedure for you all to follow so you can have some fun making these at home.
This year we give a big welcome to Pauline Pay as a part of the Learning Pod. Pauline is teaching MiniLit now that Tara Leigh-Taylor is pursuing a career as a teacher. Sharon Hanks is also teaching MiniLit, Cherie Enright is still with us teaching Reading Recovery and Michelle Minehan, Mel Tuan and Tim McDonald are MiniLit tutors. As the Learning Support Teacher, I, Tania Dorney am teaching targeted children reading skills through the Learning Support Program. This year we have a big emphasis on making reading fun! We look forward to giving you regular updates throughout the year with some of our projects including a book report on the Tom Gates novels and various make-and-do activities including science experiments and building projects.
