October / November 2024

 

We are thankful. We are grateful.

And we remember.


The month of October and November is always the busy months at school. October is the month when we finally get into the routine of doing things and especially with our learning.

In the month of October, we did neat arts for Thanksgiving. We made our thankful turkey, and we dressed our turkey to hide it. We also celebrated the Feast of St. Gerard Majella, the patron saint of our school.

The month of November is another full month of learning.

We will be learning about the importance of Remembrance in the lives of Canadians. We will talk about why we celebrate and remember the lives of our fallen soldiers.

We are also continuously strengthening our math skills through addition and the different math concepts. We love doing mad minutes, which helps us strengthens our mental math.

In Language Arts, we are really doing better with our weekly Spelling words. We practice how we write our sentences.

In Science, we learn about growth and changes of animals. And we are going to do mini units for few animals like the bee, polar bears and spider. It will include their life cycle, the body parts and other important information.

In Social Studies, we are learning about our community. We learned the people, things and building we can find in our community. And we will be learning about Man-made and Natural Resources.

In French, we started learning about numbers in French.

In Religion, we learned about how God loves us through his Church. We love to learn more about our faith.  

This is also the month of Student-Led Conferences. The students are busy preparing their Learning Portfolio’s to show their parents. 😊
