Library, Reconciliation, Retells and #OneWord

Tomorrow we have library in the Learning Commons.  Please make sure they have been returned:)
The students who are making their First Communion this year will be celebrating their First Reconciliation on Tuesday, January 19 at 7pm  in our gym.

In Language, we continue to work on retelling stories.  Today we read the story 'Squirrel's New Year's Resolution'- a story about a squirrel who thought she didn't have a resolution but actually did!
Here is our Shape Go Map from our retell:

Instead of coming up with a New Year's Resolution, we are joining the #OneWord movement.  We brainstormed words that would inspire us to be the best we could be in 2016.  We came up with a lot of amazing words!  After brainstorming and finding a word just right for us, we began to design our word on cardstock.  Stay tuned for the video that will be created when we are finished!

We listened to this inspiring song by Matthew West while we were creating.

Since we are working on Procedural Writing in Language, I thought everyone might enjoy this video from one of my favourite YouTube channels...KidSnippets:)  Enjoy!
