What We Learned Today...February 23rd

Lenten Liturgy/Special Presentation: We started out our week with a brief liturgy the focused on us preparing ourselves for the beginning of our journey through Lent over the next forty days.  After our liturgy, we were joined by Mr. Schaan who talked to us about "Chalice", the organization we (and many other Regina Catholic Schools) will be sponsoring throughout the Lenten season.

Religion: Students began to work on their Lenten Reflection Booklets.  For this assignment, the students have been tasked with creating realistic goals that follow the three main aspects of Lent (Praying, Fasting and Alms giving) This assignment also includes a Service portion that tasks the students with spending four hours of the Lenten Season, serving others.  This service should be something that challenges them or is something they normally wouldn't do.  *Service locations need to be cleared by Mr. Bresciani before students can begin.  Please see full assignment for more details.

Grade 8 Math: We continued to work through our unit by learning how to solve for the volume of a cylinder.

Social Studies:  Today was very important class because each group participated in an event that simulated the First Encounter between the the Plains, Algonquian and French. Students will learn next class what consequences (good or bad) this event had on their group and the direction the unit takes as a result.
