We are the Champions!
On Tuesday, February 13, Room 103 was given the Tupperware Tuesday Award!!!! Our class was recognized for having the largest proportion of lunches sent in reusable containers. Congratulations to our parents for packing #1, #2 and #3 snacks and lunches in Tupperware! Please keep up the great work - the less we have to throw into our garbage and recycling bins, the less we negatively impact our environment.
Rosary Apostolate Visit
On Wednesday, February 21, Mrs. C. from the Rosary Apostolate visited our classroom to share the Third Glorious Mystery - the Descent of the Holy Spirit. She explained that the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is One God in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Just as the clover, or shamrock, is one leaf and three, God is both one, and three persons.

Building on Success!
If you are following our class on Twitter, you will know that we have challenged our students to build a variety of items with Lego. From upside down houses, to trees, to firetrucks, to names, children have been completing these STEM activities to challenge their creativity.
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 and math, STEM learning will undoubtedly benefit each and every one of us from coast to coast. To understand why, we have to set our sights on tomorrow.
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.
Technology: This is where scientific knowledge is applied for practical purposes, creating new machinery and new processes that transform society.
Engineering: This is where science and math are used to solve practical problems.
Mathematics: This includes pure and applied math, and all the various subfields of mathematical analysis.

Mrs. Young's Class Visit
To promote learning through interaction with upper grade classes, Mrs. Young's Grade Six class visited Room 103 on Thursday to share their space projects. They presented their projects on such topics as the Canadarm, the Hubble Telescope and Rick Hatfield. They answered our little ones' questions and inspired them to ask more questions!
