Congratulations to Liam and Naysa who represented our class at the Speech Arts assembly today for Bible reading and Poetry, respectively. Great job to everyone who presented their poems in class! Overall well done! I get really nervous standing in front of my peers in presenting something, so it was so great to see the students stand up in front of the class to present their poems.

Socials Test on continents and oceans on Monday, Feb 29. I gave a review sheet last week and we will go over all their answers tomorrow. Please ensure they have the review sheet (completed) at school.

No spelling this week, but Comm Skills was assigned on Monday instead, to review verbs.

Today we had Mass and a prayer day to start our Lenten Journey. Father Anthony encouraged the students to think about their Fasting (what we give up), Prayer and Almsgiving (what we are giving to others).

The students also recited their Speech Arts poem today. Thank you for practicing with your children. It was really neat to hear all the different poems. I will choose one person to recite their poem at the school assembly.

Happy Catholic Schools Week!!!

This week will be a short fun filled week celebrating our school and community. Today we focused on the most important pillar of our school, our faith. We wrote a prayer thanking God for the gift of Catholic education. Tomorrow is Crazy hair/hat day but students are still expected to wear their uniforms. 

Book Fair will be open until tomorrow after school in the Parish Center. Primary students will be allowed to go during recess if they bring their money.  

We finished Bible readings today with the exception of students who were absent. Just a reminder that poems are being presented on Feb. 10. Poems must be memorized.

No spelling this week. 

No school Thursday, Friday this week and Monday next week.

1.  Backwards Poem rough draft
