Stations of the Cross

Image result for stations of the cross shadowToday we present the Faith in Action, Stations of the Cross tableau in front of the St. Cecilia school community.  Many of the students that are part of this production are in Grade 3.  They have worked so hard over the last few weeks.  The performance will take place today during 3rd block (1:00 P.M.).  If you are not able to join us, please ask your child about the performance and how they felt while they performed and/or watched today.  

During Holy Week, students have also been working on writing a 'Through the Eyes of Jesus' Personal Narrative.  Students are writing the Easter Story from the perspective of Jesus.  

Heading into the last few days of Lent and celebrating Easter this Sunday, I wish everyone a wonderful long weekend.  I hope everyone is able to slow down and enjoy the company of friends and family.

Your Partner in Education,

Mrs. Caluori

EQAO Homework Booklet

    EQAO Homework Booklet was sent home today.  There is an attached letter on the front of the booklet which explains in more detail the expectations of this booklet.
    This will be a replacement for our usual Red Duotang Hmk for the month leading up to EQAO.  EQAO will begin on May 21st. 
    The dates are as follows (May 21st, 22nd, 23rd and May 28th, 29th, 30th).
    We will not be assigning any homework during EQAO testing.
    The EQAO booklet is to remain at home and does not need to be sent back to school.  
    Please use this booklet as you feel best suits your child's learning needs and your family's schedule.
    *Please note that students with school assigned technology, will have access to this booklet through a workspace set up in Hapara called 'EQAO - Homework Practice'.

Sum It Up! Transformational Geometry and Describing Movements on a Grid

We have been working on a new Math Unit called Transformational Geometry!  We have learned the terms translation, rotation and reflection.

We are also learning more about movement on a grid, which links well to our previous coding activities and direction words such as up, down, right, left (e.g., to get from the school to the park, move 3 units left and 2 units down).

Please click on the links below for further information on terms and concepts that you can use at home with your child.
