I hope you have had a wonderful Easter Celebration with your family and friends. After the long period of sacrifice, prayer and contemplation it is a wonderful time for celebration and new beginnings! Spring is springing, birds are singing, and we feel renewed!
We have a few upcoming events to keep in mind:
-the boys basketball tournament will be held on Wednesday - We wish them good luck and remember to wear purple and grey to support our team!
-Wednesday is also the day we say goodbye to Miss Stabile, our Teacher Candidate from the University of Ottawa. She has completed her practicum, and will return home to Montreal shortly. She will likely be assigned to a different school to complete her primary practicum in September, and we wish her all the best in her teaching career! I will certainly miss the extra pair of hands!
-we have a Faith Assembly on Friday, where students will receive certificates for Dignity of Persons.
-On Monday, April 24, we will have a group of teachers from Montreal visiting our morning class to see how a paperless class works in elementary, as well as some coding in the classroom and linking robotics to math. We welcome them, and hope to share our learning with them!
-Spring Photo Day is on Friday, April 28. This is the day that you can ask for sibling photos to be taken if you wish.
-The following week, the first week of May, is Catholic Education Week. We have a number of events scheduled for that week, including our Easter Mass on Tuesday and our Open House on Thursday morning, at which we welcome parents and grandparents to come and visit us! You have also heard about the Zumbathon, which will be held on Wednesday of that week. Students are asked to get pledges from family and friends, as the Principal's fundraiser this year. They should have already brought home their pledge forms. More details about our Education Week events will follow shortly.
Math: both groups have completed the lengthy fractions and decimals unit and are working on a short probability unit, full of rolling dice, flipping coins and spinning spinners!
Language Arts: Grade 5 have completed their Book Club novels and accompanying "scene act" or "book promotional video". We are now reading aloud Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo as part of our sequencing unit. Each day, they note events that have happened in sequence in the day's reading.
