Have a blessed week! Here are two Saints who were canonized on Sunday! I felt pride at being Catholic while watching it all unfold live... in the middle of the night! I definitely needed coffee all day Sunday, but it was well worth it! The best part for me was watching 800, 000 people receiving Holy Communion. What a truly blessed event!

What a busy week!!! It feels like it just flew right by! Yesterday, I had the privilege of going with the Junior Soccer girls to the playoffs in Burnaby. (They did really well!) I also got back to school just in time to see the Grade Three relays at the mini meet. WOW! These kids are fast! I look forward to their successes in the upcoming meets. Just a reminder that if your child is away for a meet, they are responsible for the missed work.

Homework:
1. Spelling-- Charlotte's Web word due tomorrow
2. Math w/s

Please return those Lenten boxes ASAP.

Also, a notice went home yesterday about the reprint of the picture that was auctioned off by the Grade 3 parents. If you are interested in purchasing your own copy, they are available in black and white or coloured. The $20 will be donated to the school. THANK YOU MRS. PINEDA and MRS. TAMIS for making this available :)

If you would like to send Easter treats for the students, please do so next week when we return from the long weekend, so we can concentrate on the true meaning of Holy Thursday and Good Friday this week. Thank you!

Happy April's Fools! We had a fun morning this morning talking about pranks and jokes... I did warn them that pranks had to end at noon so hopefully you are all in the clear tonight! I did sit on a whoopie cushion today :)

We just started reading Charlotte's Web, one of my all-time favourite books. We have an in-class project we are working on in conjunction with the chapters. It's an ABC book that reflects the themes and characters of the book.

At least 2/3 of the class is in Track and Field (WOW!) When those students are away at meets, they are responsible for keeping up with the work they miss.

Homework:
1. Sp Unit 24 (It's a review unit, so pay close attention to the different activities)
2. Letter W
3. Math w/s
4. Socials map
