Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 30!

This is the first week this year that 2H did not earn any Lexia Awards.  Let's make sure we are doing our Lexia at home to ensure we have Lexia Awards next week.
We are continuing with our Animated Literacy.  This week we reviewed the following sounds, gestures and characters


In health we talked about sun safety
and safe use of medication.

In math we finished our assessment of 2D shapes and 3D objects.  
We celebrated the many wonderful volunteers we have at Saint John XXIII School with a lovely breakfast followed by a beautiful choir, handbells and chimes concert.
We celebrated Earth Day this week.  The students brainstormed ways they could protect the environment by reducing their footprint on the Earth.

We enjoyed sharing the story "The Lorax" and considered how this story might help us reflect on what is happening to our environment.  You can enjoy the story below.


 In religion we discussed how we can serve others.  We made a poster to show some of the ways people serve each other by being the hands and feet of Jesus.
