Happy Easter


The students viewed the Stations of The Cross in the Learning Commons. The grade 6 students did a wonderful job sharing Jesus' last days with us. It was a great learning experience. 




We have spent a lot of time practicing our Popcorn Words (words that pop up everywhere) and now students are being challenged to regularly use them in their writing. Modelled lesson and whole group instruction using sentence starters like: I see, I can, and I like. We talked about how the popcorn words can help us write about anything that interests us. Thinks like dresses, flowers, animals, pokemons or vehicles. Try using some of these sentence starters at home!!! 😊




In Math we have been looking at measurement. The Kindergarten students worked in groups comparing each others height to a piece of yarn. Their job was to figure out if they were taller than the string, shorter than the string or the same height as the string. It was a lot of fun. The students also discovered that many different things can be used to measure height. Things like bean bags, feet, markers or snap cubes.
