Wednesday, March 17, 2010.

HANDWRITING
The class brainstormed a list of over 100 words that could be made from the letters in HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY! and then chose three to write three times. They also wrote the date once.



MATH
The students finished up the Show What You Know pages and corrected them so everyone is ready for the test tomorrow. Remember to bring your study sheet back for an extra sticker.

FRENCH
Today is "le dix-sept mars" so we practiced some words St. Patrick's Day words in French. The students also worked on a Math/colouring activity and a word find sheet.

COMPUTERS
We watched a Brain Pop video on St. Patrick's Day. Did you know that Saint Patrick was kidnapped from England at sixteen and worked as a slave for six years in Ireland? He left and later returned and spread the word of Christianity to the Emerald Isle and founded many churches, schools, and monasteries. He died on March 17th, which is why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day on this date.

The students also proofread their blog entries from yesterday and made corrections before they were posted.

Thank-you to Mrs. Wilson for the shamrock cookies. Yummy!

LIBRARY
The students chose new books before we packed up to head home.

Tomorrow is supposed to be colder so dress appropriately. Tuques, mittens, and warm jackets would be a good idea. Thursday is also the day of the sub lunch.
