We will be continuing with our small group news sharing.
Students will share their news each Wednesday in small groups of 4, using a timer so everyone has a fair turn to speak. This approach has been wonderful for building confidence, encouraging active listening, and supporting students in asking and answering questions.
A weekly topic will still be provided below to help guide their sharing, and all topics are designed so students can easily talk about them without needing to bring anything from home. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child prepare for news each week.
