Grade 5 Exhibition 2016

Think systemically……5th grade need mentors to be part of the Exhibition system.

Please email any of the grade 5 teachers if you are willing to be a part of this exciting journey!

THINK ABOUT BEING A MENTOR FOR A SMALL GROUP!

  • The role of the mentor is chiefly to advise and keep students on track
  • There should be regular meetings. For the most part we would like mentor meetings to happen during UOI time, in the grade 5 classrooms.
  • Offer advice on locating resources and using them efficiently
  • Ask questions (i.e. to clarify thinking, to help with processing information, to extend knowledge etc.)
  • Help interpret sophisticated/difficult information
  • Facilitate interviews, telephone calls, any electronic communication
  • Goal setting and time management advice
  • Be supportive and encouraging
  • Celebrate achievements and successes with the students

Grade 5 students will be most appreciative of your help!
