- Wednesday is the Crowning of Mary Assembly. Our class as well as Sister's Grade 2 class will be leading this assembly in the Church at 1:30. Grade 2 students who still have their First Communion outfits are allowed to wear this on Wednesday. Students who do not have a First Communion outfit or who are in Grade 1 are allowed to wear dress clothes on that day (dresses, or nice pants and shirt). Students may decide to bring it with them and change at lunch or can wear it the whole day. Also each child in the school has been asked to bring one flower to offer to Mary on this day. Please do not send a whole bouquet as it quickly adds up!
- Friday is the Grade One Mother's Day Tea. This will be at 10 am in the Columbus Room at the Parish Center.
- Please send in any Permission slips for the Aquarium, especially if you would like to volunteer. I would like to contact all the parents for supervising this week.
- Also a heads up that the 2nd extra Pro-D Day that was mandated by the government, due to the implementation of the new curriculum for next year, has been scheduled. It will be on Monday, May 30th.

- In Math we continue to have mixed adding and subtracting practice each day (regrouping and no regrouping) . This week in our geometry we are sorting how 3d objects move (roll, slide, stack) and are also counting vertices and edges.
- During writing time, we are all working on researching an animal. We have four questions that we are trying to answer and each child is reading books and writing down facts to answer those questions. Next week we will start to put our facts into paragraphs.
- We have also been talking about how to make nouns into plurals (when to add s or es) and how to add ed/ing endings to verbs
- We are also busy preparing for the assembly on Wednesday, Friday's Tea and a secret project.
