MERIT CERTIFICATES

Congratulations to Cameron, Aena, Jacob and Cathy who are all trying to be the best that they can be. Keep up the wonderful work.

Well done to all of the students who are achieving wonderful results on Literacy Pro. Here's three superstars with their certificates.

LITERACY PRO
In Room 22, we know the importance of reading every night. Every student takes home a 'home reader' that is linked with a Literacy Pro quiz. Furthermore, every fortnight the children exchange their books at the library and choose at least one fiction and one non-fiction book. They are encouraged to choose a book within their lexile range and once completed, they can do a quiz on Literacy Pro. I have been amazed to see the progress already this term. So far, as a class, we have read over 2,300,000 words. Our goal is to get to 5,000,000 words by next term. There are a number of children who have really excelled, reading over 100,000 words already. 

Over 100,000 words already. You are superstars! 

It is important to remember to complete the book before doing the quiz. The pass rate is 7 out of 10 (or 70%). It is best if the children can have the book with them when doing the quiz so that they can refer to the text. Everyone should be completing two to three quizzes per week.
Keep up the fantastic effort, Room 22.

MUSIC
The children are learning how to make music with a number of different instruments and create lyrics to go with the beat. 

Mothers Day 

The children had a great deal of fun making their mum a special gift and card. A great deal of thought and care went into both. I hope you all had a wonderful day. Here is what some of the children had to say about the two activities:
"First of all, we made the card. Using Microsoft Publisher we had to choose a greeting card template. We then deleted all of the images and searched for our own. It was fun to learn how to make a card." - Samuel

"Making the pot was fun. We got together with our buddies and planned our design. After that, we were given our pot, tiles and gem stones. Using a hot glue gun we placed all of the tiles on the flower pot. Once that was done, we put soil in it and chose a plant." - Brooklyn
