New Math Units, Rocks, and Field Trips

We are beginning our new Math units. The focus will be on Linear Measurement: Area, and Perimeter. It is important that all students have a 30 cm ruler. Practice measuring objects at home.

The students will be painting rock on Thursday or Friday. Please make sure that your child brings a rock approximately the size of their palm, so that they can participate in the activity. Rocks are needed for tomorrow.

The grade 2 students will be going to Good Shepard Parish tomorrow to participate in a First Communion Retreat. The students are going to a French Concert at l"Essor. Please send permission forms and ten dollars to the school by tomorrow.

Message for Good Shepard Perish

This week, we read about how Jesus shared a love meal with his disciples and the promise he made that he would never leave us alone.

Good Deed Booklet
We continue to work on our Good Deeds bringing in the completed certificates they have done and getting leaves to fill our bare tree...let's see that tree grow!

We Go to Mass
Monday, the children brought home a Mass Booklet. Every part of the Mass is in it. Please encourage your child to bring this with him/her each week. They will be able to follow along and know what to say at the different parts of the Mass.

What is your favourite part of the Mass?

Is it the singing? The readings? Giving Peace? Receiving Communion?

Share your thoughts with your child and ask them what their favourite part is. Now that they can follow along, Mass might have more meaning to them.

Scholastic Orders

Scholastic orders are due Monday, March 25th.

Also the students will finish their math units with a test on Tuesday, March 26th.

Welcome Back!

The grade 2 students will be participating their second retreat on Thursday afternoon at Good Shepard Church. All permission forms have already been submitted.

We are coming to the end of our Math unit. The students will end this unit with a test in the next week.

Pizza Fundraiser- will end on March 27. All orders must be submitted by this date.

We read a book before March Break that spoke about being individual and unique. We decided to paint rocks like the ones found in the book. Please help your child find a rock about the size of their palm. We will be painting them on Thursday, or early next week.

The students are asked to dress in summer-y attire (hawaiin shirts, sunglasses, etc), they have been asked to bring in a beach towel and some snacks.

Shrove Tuesday and Hats Off for Healthcare

Tomorrow we will be supporting Windsor Regional Hospital with the Hats Off for Healthcare. We are requesting a $2 donation from the students. The donation will permit them to wear the hat of their choice throughout the school day.
                                                       

We will also be celebrating Shrove Tuesday with a pancake lunch. This is the beginning of our lenten journey. We will be celebrating Ash Wednesday mass at 2:00 in the gym. If you are able to attend, we would love to see you there. Each student will be involved in the mass in some way. We hope to see you there.
   
                                                         
                                             

A message from Mrs. Betty at Good Shepard Parish

Jesus Shows His Love! And a Wonderful Gift!

As the children prepare to receive Jesus in their first Holy Communion, we encourage them to try to live and love like Jesus.

Jesus gave the gift of himself. We can give the gift of ourselves to others too. Throughout our preparation for First Communion, we will be using Jesus' Tree of Good Deed Certificate Booklet to give the gift of ourselves to others.

Good Deed Certificate Booklet: This week, your child is brought home a booklet for them to give certificates to friends and family members. On each certificate they write something they have done for someone- giving the gift of themselves to others. Their booklet has 4 certificates. Jesus Tree of Good Deeds: each week, have your child bring back their Certificate booklet and tell us what they did. For every certificate (Good Deed) done, your child receives a leaf, on the leaf they will write what they have done then tape the leaf to the tree. As we fill the  tree with leaves for acts of love that we have done (forgiving, healing, & feeding), we will watch our Jesus tree grow!

Skating- Monday March 4

We will be going skating Monday afternoon at the Tecumseh arena. All students are to participate. Please be sure that both forms have been signed and returned to the school. Also, School Cash Online is not available for nest weeks activities.
