Teacher Notes for this week
FDK News for March 29-April 1, 2016
Happy Easter! We wish you the best of the Easter season to you and your family. We will begin to celebrate new life and new beginnings as we look for special signs around us. It will be a short week at St Anthony Catholic. We hope to get out more in our community for neighborhood walks as we look for signs of Spring! We will also wake up our hibernating bears on Friday April 1st.
We will continue to read about Easter, Spring and new life. We also continue our fire safety inquiry. Please watch for a permission form this week as we prepare for our visit to the Fire Station #11 on Preston St.
Have a great week! the FDK team!
Ms. Myers’ Grade One Class
Happy Easter! This is the greatest feast in our church and we will celebrate for 50 days! This week we will explore the Easter story, focusing on the joy of the Resurrection. Our Lenten journey has ended but we will continue to accept canned food donations until April 1st. Again, thank you for all your support! This Thursday we will enjoy a special theatre production at school called “Camping Royale.” It promises to be a “one of a kind” fairy tale incorporating both drama and dance. Remember to ask your child about it! In science we continue our learning about energy. We will use our school “Little Bits” kits to create mini circuits! Please ensure your child returns their March homework this week as we are heading (very quickly it seems!) into April! Have a great week!
Ms. Moga’s Grade 2 Class:
Happy Easter! I hope everyone enjoyed a great extra long weekend. Our Lenten Journey has come to an end as we celebrate the Easter season. In the classroom, the students finished the week by making Holy Week Wreaths which displayed the events of Holy Week and Easter.
This week in Language, we will be wrapping up our unit on procedural writing. The students will write one more procedural writing piece.
In Math, students will learn to estimate, measure and record perimeter and area using standard units. In Science, the students have learned about the properties of solids and liquids. This week the students will look at the properties of gases, including an experiment to further our understanding.
In Religion, we shift our focus to celebrating the resurrection of Jesus; we will discuss why we take part in mass and why symbols are important for helping us remember and celebrate Easter.
Lastly, we will take some time this week to focus on Health. We will be discussing how to live a “balanced life” (e.g. being active and moderating screen time) and the importance of this to one’s health.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Rupnik’s Class
I hope you enjoyed the long Easter weekend with your family and friends. This week in the Primary Language Class, we will review the concept of big deal/little deal as part of our Social Language activities. This concept helps students distinguish what is important from what is not important so that they can be less anxious about situations of lesser importance and take seriously situations of greater importance. A new book by Jeanie Ransom titled “Don’t Squeal Unless It’s A Big Deal” will be the read to the class throughout the week. Please remember that completed March homework calendars are due back at school on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. Please take some time this week to read our March class newsletter. New April homework calendars will be sent home on Friday, April 1, 2016.

Manzoli Stars this week…
Welcome to the last week of March. Last week we journeyed through the last days of Jesus and had an opportunity to learn the sufferings he went through leading to his crucifixion. We heard stories and journeyed through the stations of the cross to better understand such a Paschal Mystery. As we enter into the Easter season we continue to journey through the resurrection of Jesus and the new life he brings to us. During Religion, we will complete our story of “Benjamin’s Box”.
As we move forward this week we also continue to work on our narrative stories. Students have been working diligently using the writing process to create their stories (Plan, first draft, revise, edit and publish). We will be moving into procedural writing next. We will also be having a word quiz on Friday. Students should be practising these words during the week as part of their homework routines. In Reading, we work on comprehension of the text and fluency. Students continue to read to self every morning as part of their morning routines, continue to encourage your children that reading should be done on a regular basis at home too.
In Math last week we explored symmetry in shapes and figures. This week we will explore how shapes and figures turn, flip and slide along a grid. This will end our unit on geometry. We will be moving into multiplication and division next.
In Science in Grade 3 students will begin their next unit on Structures and mechanisms, we will be building a structure made out of recycled material. Students are asked to bring in material that can be recycled for this project.
We have begun our dance unit in gym, students are working in teams to create a 3-minute dance. On Thursday we will be able to experience a form of dance and drama in a performance called
“Camping Royale Theatre”
LEARNING GOAL
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the elements of dance and drama through critiquing a performance, engaging in curriculum-centred activities, and creating and performing themselves
I would like to wish all families a Happy Easter season!
Reminders:
- Homework calendars are due Thursday March 31st
