April 17, 2014

What a fun day filled with excitement!  The children were buzzing, I suspect in anticipation of the long weekend ahead!

We began with Bible, and focused on Christ's death and resurrection.  We watched a very well done animation about the story (check it out here) to refresh everyone's memories about how important this weekend is.

Then we had Handwriting (Y for Grade 4 and L and Q for Grade 3), followed by Grammar.  Today the Grade 4's focused on the use of commas and quotation marks while the 3's studied contractions.

After recess, the students had Music and DPA, and then Math.  We continued working through our cumulative review of everything we've done since September.  Next week we'll venture into data analysis (graphs).

Following lunch we had Art, and the class worked on beautiful pastel rubbing crosses.  Some students left theirs on their desk, but hopefully your child's made it home in time for Easter!

Jack's dad, Jeff Gates, spoke in chapel today all about different foods of the Passover and their significance.  The kids were very excited to have him there, especially Jack!  Thanks Jeff, for sharing your wisdom with the school!
