Jump Rope for Heart

Please donate to the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser.  We will be skipping in June! You are encouraged to donate online:)  Thanks so much!

Jump Rope for Heart

We had our Jump Rope for Heart kick off at Holy Redeemer today.  The students are getting very good at skipping and are learning about perseverance.  Learning to skip is not easy but we have all improved.  In June, we will be skipping to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  We are sending home pledge forms tomorrow.  It is highly recommended that you use the online tool for pledges.  Enjoy!

Julie from the Heart and Stroke Foundation visited us to talk about prize incentives

Mid Week Post

Some students have asked me to post the Kahoots for them to play at home.  Here is the EQAO Kahoot we played a few days ago.  Have fun!
Next month, Holy Redeemer will be taking part in a Jump Rope for Heart event.  The kick off will begin with a video about skipping.  We began practicing our skipping skills today in gym class.  Not only is it a fun activity, it is also great exercise.  Take a peek at our moves in this short video!

Our procedural texts "How to Blow a Bubble" are up and the bubbles look awesome!

In preparation for Easter, we made adorable 'nests' for our chicks.  They look amazing and really cute!

Jump Rope Grand Finale

We had a wonderful day for our Jump Rope for Heart event on June 9th.  The weather was perfect and the kids were totally enthusiastic!  We raised close to $11, 000, making it our most successful year at St. Cecilia.  Thanks again to everyone who supported this worthy cause.  Well done!

On Thursday, St. Cecilia participated in Jump Rope for Heart.  It was a great day and the rain held off! If you have not returned your pledge form, I will be sending them off on Tuesday so you still have time to collect money:)  Enjoy the video!

There is only one more weekend left for getting pledges for Jump Rope for Heart.  Here are a couple of inspiring videos that might motivate you to get skipping (and collecting pledges!).

Jump Rope for Heart and Green Screen

Please check your bags for Jump Rope for Heart Pledges.  They went home on Friday and we will be having the event on June 11th!  Last year, our school collected $5500 in pledges.  Way to go!

On Friday, we got into groups to research the six classifications of animals.  We created posters that showed the specific characteristics of those animal types.  We played a game today to see if we remembered those characteristics.  They did not include insects in the game but we consider them a classification of animals. Give it a try here!

Today, we spent some time learning about how to green screen and practiced with a partner.  Here are two examples from our class:) We are not experts yet but we sure had fun!
