Lent Begins

Wednesday is the beginning of Lent.  The Kindergarten classes will distribute ashes in our classes and we will have our own prayer service.

Symmetry

We have combined Art and Math to create beautiful mirror images!  Each child then titled their masterpiece!  Each picture is so different and unique, just like each of us!

Big Kids Playground

This winter has brought with it some crazy weather!  The sun was shining and we wanted to play in our playground, but unfortunately the ice made it unsafe.  That did not stop us from getting out though!  A few days last week we played in the "big kids yard" when they were not out.  The children loved having the big space to run and play tag games or just burn off some energy. We even got to play outside with our grade 4 Reading Buddies!!

100 Day Math Activities

Thanks for sending in 100 small items with your child!  We did some math activities in small groups last week.
The kids were asked to outline the perimeter of a heart with their items, and then find the perimeter by counting the objects.  This explores the concept of measuring using non-standard items of the same size.  It also practices estimating as they had to guess how many items they used. They also used one-to-one correspondence when counting the objects.
Some of the kids also practiced grouping the items in 10's and counting by tens!  Fun with math!

Rosary Apostolate

We had our Rosary Apostolate visit yesterday.  The focus was the Third Mystery of Light: The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God.  Each month we colour the corresponding page .
