Writing Journals

Paulina practices her writing in her English writing journal as you can see here from early on and she progressed well as you scroll down.

Paulina has moved into writing in a larger journal as you can see below.

She also likes to write things, phrases, and in this case lyrics to the song from the Disney movie, Frozen. 

Mathematics And More!

Paulina has been steadily excelling in Math at school and at home. She often brings Math worksheets home with many check marks indicating her knowledge in Math is excellent. She has been working at home with simple addition, subtraction using abstract numbers, numbers in word sentences, amounts of values of coins, equations, measurement, data management, and most recently time (both analogue and digital) to name some examples of content. Here is an example of how creativity played a part in her learning experience as she made this paper analogue clock in class.

Confidence

By reading "I like Myself" Paulina is learning about self confidence and how to develop it. She knows that when she knows something really well she will feel confident. She knows all about The Chronicles of Narnia, with her favourite being 'Prince Caspian;'  The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian. She is confident in her knowledge of this movie.

Having some Fun with English

Paulina is continuing to discover many different types of styles of English writing including recipes, graphic booklets, board game instructions, and activity books.

Reading in French!

Wow! It's been less that a year, 8 months actually, that Paulina has been learning a new language. She has been so diligent that she has build up a sound basic vocabulary in French. She can read simple sentences - what an accomplishment!

Citizenship

As a Spark, Paulina earned her camping badge over the weekend of April 11 - 13th when she went on a retreat approximately 50 km from home. Paulina actively participated in a treasure hunt, crafts, hike, successfully spotted deer tracks, roasted hot dogs, sang campfire songs and enjoyed a smore!

Paulina proved to be a good citizen when she sang songs to the elderly citizens at an old folks home in Mississauga later in April.

She also participated with the successful sales of the Girl Guide Cookies with her age group known as the Sparks.

English Language

Paulina is developing her English language skills concurrently with learning a second language and she has been able to keep the two separate successfully. Her English is developing well. She listens and responds promptly to grammatical revisions when speaking at home in English, her first language.
