on by Leave a comment

Hello, 5B families!

Thank you so much for your time supporting learning at home! Please check in with your child to check that he/she has chosen a Bible story to retell for our upcoming storytelling project (described in detail below).

Here are some creative students practicing their liturgical ribbon dance to share at Mass this Sunday. Thanks for your leadership!

Reminders:
This week is Catholic Schools Week with FACE TO FACE in the gym on Monday (an uplifting worship music experience)! Tuesday is Student Led Conferences from 3:30pm-6:00pm, and Wednesday is both a Crazy Sock & Hat Day and an early dismissal at 2:00pm. Thursday is a Bring a Stuffie Day, and Friday is the grade 5 Basketball Jamboree.

In Social Studies we have been learning more about Indigenous ways of knowing through literature. Today we enjoyed this beautiful book, “Be a Good Ancestor”, by BC authors Leona Prince and Gabrielle Prince and illustrated by Carla Joseph.
In Social Studies we are also continuing our inquiry into WATER! Students enjoyed this documentary on the “Wild Pacific” as they illustrated their “Big Ideas” chart in their Ocean, Freshwater, and Us inquiry booklets.
This beautiful retelling of Jonah’s story comes from Glenys Nellist in the anthology, “I Wonder: Exploring God’s Grand Story”

Continuing our exploration of the Bible’s Book of Jonah, after reading over five children’s versions and the authentic Bible text version, we have watched a few children’s cartoon versions, such as the following. Seeing the story through many different lenses helps us to better understand, connect to and remember the story and its lessons.

This is our Spelling List that we will test on Friday, February 9th.
