- Tomorrow is a non-uniform day. Students are allowed to dress up in a colour to represent an emotion. I told students not to worry too much about which colour, as we know that our emotions can change throughout the day.
- Hot Lunch tomorrow
- There was some confusion about a colouring contest that was sent home yesterday. This is an optional contest that the children can choose to participate in or not. If they would like to complete this activity, it is due tomorrow.
- Please, please, please check your child's sweaters that are coming home. We are missing some and I know that with the warm weather we had in the last weeks it is so easy to take home the wrong sweater.
- Grade 2 students receiving their First Communion on the 24th, will be asked to go to the Sacrament of Confession before this date. Thankfully we are able to do this as a class on Friday, April 22 in the afternoon. We will practice a few times this week to remind them and I will also send home the sheet again, so they can also practice at home.
- On Friday, the Grade one students received a Mother's Day tea invitation. Please send in your RVSP as soon as possible. This a K/1 event that is held every other year and so the current grade 2 class were able to participate in this in K.
- Thank you to all those who have been purchasing gift cards after Mass! It really helps our school!
Weekly Work:
- Grade 1: gain, main, pain, brain, chain, plain, sprain, cane, snake, hay
- Grade 2: dew, few, pew, blew, chew, screw, threw, knew, through, slough
- We practiced how to receive First Communion on the tongue today (which they will be doing at their First Communion). We will learn how to receive on the hands as well, so that you as a family can make a decision about how they will receive in the future.
- We (Gr. 2, and some Gr. 1's ready for the challenge) have been working on our double digit subtraction and we are all getting so close to understanding. By the end of the week, I will be sending some worksheets home for those who need a little extra help. The Grade ones have been working on using doubles for subtraction.
- We are still talking about classification of animals, and will start talking about our next question. How do animals grow?
- In writing, we are learning about how author's write non-fiction books. Currently we are looking at a variety of information books to see how author's organize their work. Students have brainstormed an idea and have thought about titles they would include in a Table of Contents. Soon we will all be gathering information on an animal to write our own non-fiction book.
