The weather has been BEAUTIFUL! It is so warm out that students often take their sweaters and jackets off at recess. Please ensure that EVERYTHING is labelled as they often get left out.

Alleluia! He is risen! I wish you all a very happy Easter season! We will continue to celebrate for 48 more days until Pentecost!

I have started conferencing with individual students about their passion projects. The outline (one sheet in their orange duotang) is due on THURSDAY. This is just point form that gives me an ideas as to what they want to research and where the project is headed. Again, the bulk of the project will be done IN CLASS, but you might want to check in with them as to what topic interests them. Some topics I approved today  included: Safe driving, Kids with Dealing with Cancer and Different art forms. It really is up to each child. The next step after I conference with them will be working on asking and answering questions relevant to their topics (research portion).

POPCORN DAY TOMORROW! $1.00

Welcome back! What a great treat it was to have TWO weeks off for spring break. It truly felt like a break, as my family had some time to do absolutely nothing, after flurry of dentists, doctors and other "must-have" appointments that are usually reserved for days off.



For Holy Week, we are focusing on the real reason of Easter and working on the stations of the cross. We are centering our week on prayer and making ourselves more like Jesus. We will have a retreat day (a day of prayer and reflection) on Holy Thursday. There will be no school on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Homework:
1. Spelling-- Religion words (3 activities due Thursday)
2. Rel- Palm Sunday journal
3. Math- pg 79 & 80 #1-6
4. Comm Skills pg 48-49
5. Easter egg clue activity (due Thursday)
