Again, a quick wrap-up from last week...
Last week we did a variety of things including working on our Math lessons on time and reading the clock, did our conjugation quiz from last week, did one for this week, had delicious pancakes and sausages served to us by Mr, Harries and Mme Tardif, continued to work on our Kokopelli art projects in Social Studies, prepared for and performed amazingly during our Liturgy, worked on Lent related activities during BFG, continued learning about healthy food choices, continued with our Planet Protector Academy work and even learned how to write sequential, repetitive and selective code for our bodies. The latter skills will come in handy as we embark on our Coding challenge through Coding Quest. We also started talking about our new French book that we will be reading as a class: Les bas du pensionnat. We will start on the background work for this book this week. Here are some pictures to wrap up last week and even some from our wonderful presentation with David Bouchard from this morning.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfast.
Food provided by the Knights of Columbus. The pancakes were so delicious that I had many students come up to me to make sure that I ate some too as they thought I could not miss out on the delicious pancakes :).
Preparations for our Ash Wednesday Liturgy.
A lot of people were involved with helping with the Liturgy. This school is incredibly blessed with many wonderful and supportive staff and students.
(Addison and Myla helping even during their lunch.)
Recycling
Although I have not taken photos of our past amazing recycling teams, I will try to do so in the future. Every Friday we have an amazing team of students, as selected by the person responsible for recycling, who go around the entire school and collect all the recycling they find. They also try to make sure, everything is well sorted. This was last week's team. Addison is now the lead on recycling. ALL our teams have done an amazing job so far this year.
Presentation of David Bouchard in St. Cecilia school.
Our class got to sit in the front row to hear Mr. Bouchard speak. He also played the flute and mesmerized students and teachers alike with his music and wonderful stories. He even taught us about the Medicine Wheel. To find out more about Mr. Bouchard, here is his website: http://davidbouchard.com/
As we were last to leave, we even got a selfie and a class photo with Mr. Bouchard.
Wednesday we will contribute to an Alberta Treaty mural the whole school is working on in collaboration with Clay for kids. This mural will be on display in the school.
Don't forget that Friday there is no school. We will be having parent-teacher interviews.
THERE WILL BE NO SPELLING TEST THIS WEEK.

Alberta Champions Story Contest
As we are learning about the history of Alberta and its many peoples, this contest is a great fit for many of the students in Grade 4. This is optional, however, I know some of the students would do great in this contest. Here is a link to the details:
For this contest, the students choose an Albertan who had great impacts on the people and history of Alberta (past or present) and write a short story (up to 1000 words) describing a meeting with this individual. The story must include and be based on a number of biographical details and accomplishments of the chosen Albertan. More details can be found at the following link:
If anyone wishes to participate, I would love to help with the research process, the writing aspect and, ultimately, the submission steps.
The deadline for submissions is April 5th.
