Week of March 19th

We hope everyone had a lovely March Break!  Everyone seemed well rested and not too many took advantage of quiet time!

Our letter of the week is h and our word of the week is he.  We have been practising using the correct pronouns so our word of the week came in handy today.  Please continue to practise letter recognition and sounds with your child.  It is very beneficial and the children are so excited to share their knowledge of letters during discussions.

We are looking forward to getting started on our VIP project.  We have received a few pictures of parents in their work environment but are still in need of many more.  If you have not emailed your photo, can you please do so by March 30th.  Our goal is to show the children the photos without reading your write up and have them guess what job each parent does. Please email the photos to andrea.rocco@ocsb.ca. Thank you for your participation.  It is going to be a great activity to discuss jobs in our community as well as the importance of our family.

The month of March is Nutrition Month. On March 23rd at 2:30 pm, St Gabriel School will take their BIG CRUNCH. The Great Big Crunch is an annual moment of anti-silence where everyone gets together and bites into crunchy fresh local produce in unison.  Please send an apple to school with your child on Thursday March 22nd so that they can participate in the school wide BIG CRUNCH!


We are looking for pots, pans, strainers, cookie sheets, spoons, scoops etc for our outdoor learning environment.  If you have any of these items and are looking to get rid of them, we would love to take them off your hands and put them to good use at school!

Here are some pictures from today:
