Mystery Reader on Galiano

The Galiano library is a happening place, made even more happening with mystery readers coming by regularly! It all starts when clues about the mystery reader are posted on the bulletin board just outside the library. Students try to guess who the reader is, write their guesses on slips of paper, and put them in an envelope. The day of the mystery reader, the students come into the library, the clues are reviewed and all of the guesses are read out. The best part is when the reader is revealed: shocked and excited faces abound! Now it's time for the story!!

Portfolios on Pender

This awesome porfolio is an example that the grades 7-8 class put together to keep their work organized and to guide their parent, teacher, student conferences. They were made by folding large poster paper: the pocket on the left are things they are getting started on (things that need work or things that they might be struggling with), the middle folder is for records (spelling progress etc.); and the left for celebrating their best work (the work they worked the hardest on, work they are proud of, etc. ).
