Rosedale students in grades 7, 8 and 9 have engaged in online learning, which began on Monday, April 19th. How does this work? Students are given a weekly schedule to follow for their daily classes: two hours of Humanities (Language Arts / Social Studies), one hour of math, an hour of science, an hour for lunch, an option (guitar, photography, art or yoga), online PE and one Health class per week. Technology is provided for students to sign out from the school as needed, and the magic of the internet allows us to teach students safely from their homes while staff are at school. Teachers can also meet one-on-one or in small groups with some of our students, online, to make sure each child has what he/she needs. We work together with parents, guardians, staff and students to provide instruction, assistance, care, wellness and a sense of community.
Transforming lesson plans to an online platform takes time, patience and creativity. Our Assistant Principal, Mr. Gordon, and I are grateful to the staff and students at Rosedale for their extra time, flexibility, laughter, and growth mindset! Thank you to all CBE staff for their dedication and strength during this year to make sure students come first.
All students in Grades 1 - 9 will have written a short story at the end of April, based on a picture prompt. Teachers assess the writing, share samples with other teachers, and discuss next best steps, which help inform teaching and learning and our School Development Plan. Rosedale School has a three year School Development Plan, which focuses on analysing and synthesizing information when writing. We analyze the writing of all of our students, discuss student needs and bring in guest speakers for staff to build skills to teach. We will share some of our stories with you next month. Our full School Development Plan is on our website.
Rosedale Grade 9 Fundraisers
Thank you to the Rosedale Community for participating in our 2021 Grade 9 fundraisers! We are disappointed that our 9s were not able to sail, as this is a Rosedale tradition which some of our students have planned on for over 10 years. Our year end celebration will be funded by monies raised, and students in Grade 9 will determine how to allocate the remainder.
We are very proud of our 2021 Grade 9 class and thank them for all of their efforts, enthusiasm, laughter and work together with parents to fundraise this year.
