Here's a short update from last week. Friday I will have an even shorter update for this week :).
Math:
- Last week we started working on fractions. We are continuing with this work this week. Fractions tend to be very scary but so far so good :).
- We also continued working on Mathletics earning even more certificates. I handed out 8 certificates today for the last two weeks.
English:
- Last week we continued our Autobiography projects. We will be using Book Creator to write our final stories sometime next week.
French:
- We are continuing to read "Les bas du pensionnat". It is not an easy topic and we do take time to address questions and discuss important points that are raised in the story.
Coding:
- Last week we also continued working with Scratch. The games for Coding Quest are now in full development. This week, we are also taking some time to learn how to code in Scratch as we continue to work on our projects.
Religion / Art:
- Below are pictures of the watercolour art we did last week representing the night Jesus died on the cross for all of us. Some of the students did not get to make one, hence the fewer paintings. Each one has a unique way of representing the sadness and hope of that night.

In Art, we also did a bit of Photography last week. We had a variety of items and shapes to find and photograph in our class. We then followed this up with finding and taking photos of garbage in our school backyard. We will be using these photos to promote the need for a backyard cleanup event or events for our school. More to come on this.
For Easter, we also had a game where students had to work with partners to solve some puzzles in French and earn chocolate Easter eggs. The students found these puzzles fun even if some of them were more challenging. We also learned that hard work pays off - even in chocolates sometimes.
Finally, for Earth Day (April 22), we created Agamograph Art. Not all are finished, but here is a sample. They are very cool and help us remember that the Earth is a precious place and the only place where we humans can live. As such, we need to take much better care of our beautiful home.

LENTEN FOOD DRIVE
Although our school is small, we still pulled together a good amount of food for the Lenten Food Drive. This will truly help many less fortunate. Thank you for everyone's generosity. Here are some photos of our school's boxes before they were taken.
