painters and the kind of work that inspired them. This week the “Wonderful Ones” will apply what they

have learned about primary colours and create a piece of work based on the famous Dutch artist Piet

Mondrian. In religion we will focus on the gifts of God’s creation and how we need to care for the earth.

At the end of the week we say good-bye to our wonderful co-op student, Yoshuna, from Lisgar High

Parents can help by visiting the web site www. Eqao.com.
In math, we will focus on reviewing time and move into temperature.
We begin our new unit in science on structures.

Principal’s Report – Wednesday, January 14, 2015

 

RtP header2

 

1.  Programs:  Our winter/spring programming is about to begin.  Here is a breakdown of what we have scheduled:

 

  • Little Horn Theatre:  Audrey Lemieux will be starting a music program with all our students starting January 21st.  The music portion of Little Horn will continue on to February 27th.  Jamie Vargus – the principal trainer of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet will be here January 19th to offer workshops to the junior (grade 4-6) students.

download

  • Y Kids Academy – This is a FREE 12 hour healthy living program designed specifically for grades five and six students.  Upon successful completion of the program, our grade six students will also receive a FREE, one year, no strings attached membership to the YMCA–YWCA!      The program starts next week, but we are still looking for parent volunteers to help out.  Volunteers would simply help escort the students to and from the Y as we will be walking.
  • Table Tennis – Forms for this program will be handed out Thursday.  We will be offering this program after school (3:15-4:15)once a week for our students starting January 27 going to April 21.  The price of the 10-week program is $30.00. Subsidies available.

download (1)

  • Hip Hop Dancing – We  will also be offering a 10-week hip hop dance class (juniors only) on Wednesday at lunchtime.   Registration will take place on Wednesday, January 21.  The program will cost students $25.00 for the 10 weeks.  Subsidies available.
  • Young Rembrandts – The drawing program will begin again January 22 for 5 sessions.  Total cost:  $54.00 (full subsidy available)  Registration deadline is January 19th.

download (2)

2.  Pizza Days!  We will be running pizza days twice a month starting January 30th.  Forms for pizza have gone home and are due back January 20th.  This will be our school fundraiser for the year.  All profit will be going directly back into the classroom.

 

3.  Second session Milk Program – begins January 19th and goes to April 10th.  This program is intended as a fundraiser as well.  We will report on the proceeds from this year’s program to School Council in June.

 

4.  EQAO – we are starting to work on EQAO preparation now.  Teachers will be meeting over the next week to plan strategies to assist all students in preparation for the tests in May and June.  This school does extremely well in EQAO and we plan to continue our upward trend.  In reading and writing we continue to improve from grade 3 to grade 6.  In math, the trend is not as strong, but we have a team of teachers working on math instruction this year and this could have a positive impact on how are students do.  The most important thing is to start early to identify the students are risk in the areas of reading, writing and math.

EQAO-logo

5.  First Term Report Cards – these will be coming out February 13th.  We will not hold a formal meeting night this round, but parents can schedule a meeting with their classroom teacher to discuss the term I results.  Teachers will also be contacting parents where there are areas of concern.

St. Anthony Connects the first week in January!

Faith and Fun January

Faith and Fun Jan 2

voice of the day

There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. then suddenly the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.

–Mother Teresa

prayer of the day

God, thank you for giving us light in the darkness. Do not let us lose sight of this mysterious power. As we have been given hope in the midst of our suffering, may we too offer hope and light to those who only see darkness. Amen.

News from the Green Club December 2014

 

The Green Club has been busy at St. Anthony Catholic School. In

mid­ October we had our annual Cleaning the Capital event

where all staff and students picked up litter and compost leaves

around our school grounds. We made GOOS (Good On Other

Side) boxes for each classroom to save paper. Green Club

students are also running a Caught You Wasting Program and

continue to track individual class results. Classes that leave lights

and SMARTboard monitors on when not in use get a ‘caught you

wasting’ sign posted on their door. More recently, we conducted a

school­-wide Waste Audit, which included investigating waste

collected in the wastebaskets, compost bins, and black recycle

bins over the course of one school day. An action plan with one

targeted goal was devised. The results of this waste audit were

presented at a school assembly in a fun Ecojeopardy game

format. A second and third waste audit will be conducted in the

winter and spring. This will allow us to see if our targeted goal of

reducing contamination in our compost bins, wastebaskets, and

black recycle bins has been reached. To keep everyone sharp with

our guidelines of where waste items go (wastebaskets, compost

bins, and black recycle bins) spot audits will be conducted 3 times

weekly and the results posted on our individual class pocket

charts. Stay tuned for more exciting green news!

Sleep

Sleep is a basic need for everyone. Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for kids. It is needed to

help them develop well and perform their best. School-age kids need 10-12 hours of sleep a

night. Many kids are getting less than this. Signs that a child may not be getting enough sleep

 Short attention span

 Yawning

 Drowsy

 Hyper-active

 Cranky

Most kids will resist bedtime but parents should be firm. Here is what parents can do to help kids

sleep longer and better:

 Have dinner and after school activities early in the evening

 No screens in the bedroom. This includes TV, computers, phones and games

 Bedrooms should be cool (less than 24C)

 House should be quiet

 Have the same bedtime routine every night (bath, reading before bed or quiet time, lights

out)

Parents can be great role models and get a good night’s sleep too.
