Learning Skills
This year to begin our year we are looking at the learning skills. Here is a brief outline of each so you understand what we are learning about. The students will discuss how they can achieve an E-excellent on their report card for the Learning Skills.
E = Excellent
G = Good
S = Satisfactory
N= Needs Improvement
Strong learning skills and positive work habits are often an indicator of future success in school, at home, and in life in general. Learning skills and work habits will look different in individuals as they grow and mature.
