On Tuesday morning, the students from Grades 1 through 4 made the trek into the big city and enjoyed a morning of music supplied by the Symphony Orchestra...and one bear, just waking up from his winter hibernation!
They thoroughly enjoyed the comfy seats!
Don't they all look so grown up...
in their special clothes? Thanks for taking the time to get them dressed up for this special outing.
It did tire them out!
On Wednesday, the students very carefully followed the directions,
and put beads onto wire in the proper pattern.

Today, they were able to use those lovely rosary beads as the whole school participated in the Living Rosary. The students were just wonderful!
They were so proud to carry the rosaries that they made into the gym.
We'll keep them at school until the end of the month, so that we can actually learn how to say the rosary. They know the prayers, but need practise on how to move their fingers along so that they know which prayer is next.
Did you notice that cutie from Gr. 4 photo bombing us?? Ha! Ha!
The students are beginning a bit of a review on 2D shapes.
They learned that the correct mathematical term for diamond, is actually rhombus.
They also learned that the term for same shape, same size is congruent.
They are so excited when they can tell others about their new learning!
Today, they worked in pairs and challenged themselves to use different 2D shapes to cover the different pictures that they were given. They surprised even themselves, and every few minutes I was called over to another pair of students, who wanted to show how they figured out the best shapes to use. Another proud moment for them (and me!)
They never complain about who they are paired up with. They have the kindest hearts!
It will be 3D objects next week!
