What We Learned Today...May 6th

ELA: This morning we kicked off our day with the usual AR period from 9:08 - 9:38. After AR we quickly reviewed the story from yesterday as well as the conflict maps. The students were then placed in groups and were tasked with reading a short picture book and completing their own conflict map.

Religion: Due the fact that we missed Religion in afternoon due to our Track meet, we switched things around and Religion after Arts. Ed.  We officially started our mini unit on the Seven Sacraments by looking at Baptism and First Eucharist.  We will continue to explore these sacraments over our next few Religion classes.

Deshaye Track and Field Meet: After lunch all students from Grades 4-8 boarded the buses and headed over to Douglas Park for our school meet. Students had the opportunity to participate in all Track and Field events this afternoon as we had the entire Track to ourselves.

*Fully Alive:

Our class will be starting Theme Three in Fully Alive, titled: Created Sexual, Male and Female.  This theme will discuss sexuality, examine puberty, fertility and identify STIs.  If you would like additional information, please let me know.  I am happy to send a textbook home for you to familiarize yourself with the content your child will be learning.
