Hello Parents and Campers!

I  hope everyone had a blessed Easter Weekend filled with quality family time!

This short week...


THRoW - Students have been learning about how to write a compare and contrast paragraph.  Much like a stoplight paragraph, it has a topic sentence that introduces the two things that are being compared and contrasted.

Sentence 1 - Topic Sentence
Sentence 2 and 3 - Similarities
Sentence 4 and 5 - Differences
Sentence 6 - Closing Sentence

The topic for this THRoW is to compare and contrast 2 seasons in Ontario.  Try to encourage your child to come up with a really solid venn diagram with interesting similarities and differences.  Stay away from obvious comparisons.  I can't wait to read them this Friday!

That's all for now,

Counsellor Wilson
