Welcome back to school!
We completed the spring GMADE in class yesterday and today. As you may recall, we took the GMADE in the fall. We will compare growth with this assessment and also see what more needs reinforcing in the remaining months of school.. GMADE is a standardized test that all Wayland students take twice a year in grades 1-5. It is a piece of the pie that gives us data on each student.

Today we had an Open Circle with Ms. Pirelli and we talked about empathy. Putting ourselves in someone else's situation and realizing how he/she may feel. Ms. Pirelli read us a wonderful book and we talked about what this meant. Students had great examples from their own lives where they were empathetic or someone else was towards them.
Artist Bren Bataclan visited Loker School today. Bren painted the murals in our cafeteria and gym. He told us all about his journey as an artist, the places he has brought his art, and taught us how to draw like him. Each class made portraits of the leader they have chosen. Room 3 students made portraits of Grace Lin. Bren will use student ideas to create a professional painting of Grace Lin and all the Loker leaders. |
