Rounding!

In Math, we have been adding and subtracting large numbers (2 and 3 digit numbers).  We have also been comparing, ordering and rounding numbers.  

Today we watched some rounding videos!  Below are the videos if you want to watch them again:).

Have fun!

Remembrance Day

Our St. Cecilia Remembrance Day Ceremony will take place this Friday in our school gymnasium.  

If you are available to join us, the Ceremony will begin at 
10:45 a.m.

We have been reflecting this week about Remembrance Day and what peace means to us.  Today we wrote our own 'Prayer for Peace'.  Ask your child about it:).

We have also read some stories and have begun a Remembrance Day 'Pointillism' Art project, inspired by the famous Artist Georges Seurat.  The projects are beautiful!

Descriptive Writing

In Language, we have begun our Descriptive Writing unit.  The students have been listening to teacher read alouds of example descriptive texts and finding descriptive features in the books we read together.  Students have also written a description of a pumpkin carving idea they had as well as a description of their favourite stuffie.

This week, one of our favourite descriptive stories was 'Miss Rumphius'.  We talked about how the author uses words to paint vivid pictures (or movie) in our mind.  The author also uses words to evoke our senses and makes us feel like we are right there in the story.

We Scare Hunger!!!

Thank you SOOOOOOOO much students and family members of Grade 3D.  We collected 154 canned and non perishable food items for the Barrhaven Food Cupboard.  Simply amazing!  We came in Third place which is awesome.  There will be a lot of people within our very own community that will benefit greatly from your kindness.  What a wonderful example of being "Sent to be the Good News."

Bracelets for Mateo

Coming together as a community!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be selling bracelets here at St. Cecilia to raise money for Mateo and his family.  Mateo is a former student of St. Cecilia, who should be enjoying his first year at St. Joe's in Grade 7.  Instead, he is fighting a brave battle with cancer.  Mateo's brother is a student at St. Cecilia and he along with other St. Cecilia students and teachers, will be selling bracelets during recesses.  Bracelets are $2.00 and the money raised will go towards Mateo and his family.  

Thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.  St. Cecilia ROCKS!!!

Retakes Tomorrow

Just a Reminder that Picture Retakes are tomorrow.  Please write a note in your child's agenda if you would like them to have retakes done.
