Teacher Notes for the Week
Ms Myers Class
This week we finished up our exploration of fractions. The students had a great time making their own pizza and dividing it into equal parts – before consuming it with great enthusiasm! Or visit from Bev Wilcox, our school public health nurse, was re-scheduled to this Monday. Ms. Wilcox will talk about active transportation and safety. A May newsletter and homework calendar will be going home on Monday as well as a permission form for an upcoming trip to Gatineau Park. Please look for these items in your child’s agenda. On Tuesday we will visit the Rosemount Library to learn about the wonderful opportunities they have on offer for children and families. Please join in some of our Catholic Education Week activities if you can. Coffee and treats will be available each morning before school – come and have your family portrait taken by Mr. McGuire!
Ms Rupnik’s Class
Welcome to Catholic Education Week! We have many special activities planned this week, starting with our Open House on Tuesday, May 5. This will be a time to welcome the new students who will be joining the Primary Language Class in the fall. Please visit “St. Anthony Connects” blog for information on Catholic Education Week (stanthonyconnects.edublogs.
Mr Cook grade 1/2
Welcome to the 1st week of May! Mother Nature has been very kind to us so far and we will be praying for beautiful weather this week! The students have earned a reward for beating Mr. Cook 10 times at fixing our morning messages. They have requested a class pic-nic. They wrote a persuasive journal entry to try and convince me why they should have a pic-nic. I was definitely convinced! This will happen in the next couple of weeks. Great job boys and girls! This week, we will focus on patterning and algebra in math. We will be continuing our persuasive writing unit as well. The students wrote amazing pieces last week on why St. Anthony is the best! They will be posted on our bulletin board. Come by and read them! Don’t forget to have your child pack their library book in their bags for Monday. Homework calendars are going home this week. At St. Anthony this week we are celebrating Education Week. Parents are invited to visit the school at their convenience this week and see all of the great things we have been up to and that are going on. We wish our Grade 2 friends participating in their Reconciliation and First Communions this upcoming weekend the very best on this special occasion! Let’s have an extraordinary week!!
