P.A.C fundraiser

The Parent Council is asking for donations towards our spring fundraiser. They are creating different themed gift baskets that they will raffle off later this month. Our class theme is 'Sports'. Any items donated will be placed in a lovely gift basket. We have had a few donations

TEACHERS FOR TANZANIA

Hello everyone, I want to introduce the St.Gabriel family to Ms.Arruda and Ms. Hajdinjak who are our student teacher candidates for this term. These young ladies will be leaving for Tanzania in a few weeks and our class has decided to assist them with their special mission. I have a few links to a website  and then a Youtube video that will fill everyone in on where they are going and the purpose for their visit. The class is very excited about helping out any way they can.  See below the links for items that they could use for their trip.

Literature Circles

Time and time again research has shown that reading and talking about what you read is critical for academic success. The key is to get readers engaged and encourage them to talk about what they read. In order to do that readers need a common vocabulary that allows them to share their ideas. Sellie!, Bar down! and dangle, this is the common vocabulary of hockey players. Connections, word choice and inferring, these are some of the words that we need to discuss books. We have been working on these concepts all year. It's time now for students to put this to work in literature circles. 

Students are placed in groups related to interests and then read a book they have chosen. Then they share their ideas, using our common understanding of these literary concepts.

Here are our groups in action.
