🕇 Lent 2020 🕇
Thank you, Miss D.!
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Miss Demers, our afternoon teacher.
Her loving dedication, creativity and enthusiasm had a positive impact on each child in Room 103. She has taken on another teaching position within our board,
and we wish her all the very best!
We will miss you!
STEM Week
Last week, Room 103 worked on daily STEM activities - from building bridges and ramps to classifying objects. In upcoming blogs, we will describe how these kindergarten activities can be linked to our Catholic Graduate Expectations.

What is a STEM activity?
Canada 2067 is uniting Canadians to develop and implement a new vision for STEM learning. What is STEM? In a rapidly changing world, key skills and characteristics developed through STEM will be critical for everyone. In fact, even if you don't want to work in fields of science, technology, engineering or math, STEM learning will undoubtedly benefit each and every one of us from coast to coast.
As technology continues to evolve at a fantastic pace, it's increasingly critical that all youth have opportunities to develop the critical thinking, problem solving, creative and collaborative skills needed for evolving work and citizenship demands. But for the uninitiated, you may be wondering just what the ubiquitous acronym STEM means.
To break it down, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. First though, let's break down each word and its traditionally defined field of study:
Science: This is where scientific inquiry reigns supreme - traditionally this includes physics, biology, chemistry and other areas of study.
Engineering: This is where science and math are used to solve practical problems.
Technology: This is where scientific knowledge is applied for practical purposes, creating new machinery and new processes that transform society.
Mathematics: This includes pure and applied math, and all the various subfields of mathematical analysis.

March Math Tips
- Play number games during everyday activities, such as counting the number of steps, the number of trucks you see while driving, or counting the number of items going in the laundry.
- At the grocery store, ask your child to find items that are triangles, circles, rectangles, and other shapes.
- Ask your child to recognize or stack the groceries you bought by container shape or organize by size.

This is Lent
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
Prayer, fasting
and almsgiving.
We are meant
to repent.
Forty days of sacrifice,
being super, extra-nice.
This is Lent!
This is Lent!
