March 21-24

Welcome back from your break! I hope everyone had a restful March break.

St. Cecilia Lenten Project

Thanks to those families who have sent in a donation for our Lenten Project. The money raised will benefit refugee families who have come to live in Ottawa as well as families in Africa who don’t have access to clean water. Our children are learning that everyone at any age can make a difference in the lives of others in need. A very important life lesson! We have one more week to collect donations for this project.

Here are the new word wall words for this week and next week:

1. tall

2. when

3. kick

4. but

5. old

 

Over the next two weeks, in Math, we will finish our study of 3D solids by exploring which 3D solids can slide, roll and stack. We will also continue to learn to identify a variety of coins and make coin amounts up to 20 cents.

In Science, we will continue our exploration of various objects and the materials that they are made of (e.g. a pencil is made out of wood from trees, our chairs are made out of plastic, our school is made out of bricks etc.). We will follow this with making structures out of various materials to test their strength and durability.

Holy Week Project

The Holy Week Project is made up of a variety of students in different grades. Some grade 1’s are singing a worship song. Some grade 3’s are involved in presenting the Stations of the Cross. A group of grade 4’s are dramatizing the Last Supper and two different grade 1 and 4 classes have worked on special Holy Week art to display in the foyer area.

Our class and Ms. Lawless’s class are singing a worship song. You are welcome to come and see it but we have changed the time of the presentation. You can come see your child sing the song the song on Thursday, March 24th at 10:45-11:45am. Our song is the last part of the Holy Week presentation.
