Final Week Optional Task

Students should be finishing up and submitting their passion projects next week.  If finished early here are some optional tasks.

End of the Year Reflection

✓ I can share my feelings about something in my writing

✓ I can make connections to my own experience

✓ I can share an opinion based on an experience

This is an opportunity for you to take time to reflect on your grade 4 year at Maple Ridge.  Focus your thinking on the positives, the highlights, the learning and the growth you’ve made.  Oppositely, you may choose to spend time thinking about next year and individual goals you’d like to set for grade 5.  You’ll be in a new school, meeting new people and trying new things.  What are your hopes for next year?  

Choose as many of the following as you’d like.  Share your ideas in writing, pictures or a slideshow.

Optional - Reflection Task

Choose any of the following:

1. Thinking back on the year, what is one thing you learned from grade 4?   Why is it important?  How will it help you next year?
2. What is something you remember about grade 4 that left you with a positive feeling?  Why?
3. If you could go back in time, what would you do differently in grade 4?  How would you make that happen?
4. Use the 3,2,1 method to answer the following:
1. 3 things I’m grateful for
2. 2 favorite memories from this year
3. 1 thing I did this year that I’m proud of

Optional - Goal Setting Task

It is hard to believe that our year together is coming to an end. 

However, with every end comes a new beginning. You can take this time to look forward and set new goals for the upcoming year in Grade 5. What would you like to learn about? What would you like to get better at? Perhaps you want to read more books or learn more about a science topic, get better at multiplication, be a great friend, learn how to play a new sport or play a new instrument.

Setting goals should be realistic and should have actions on how to achieve them.  They should be important to you so that you are encouraged to work on them.

To help you set a goal for yourself, you can use one of  the SMART Goal Think- sheets below to help you. You may have more than one goal to write about.
