Student Led Conferences - March 15th & 16th

 

 

In conjunction with the recent reporting period, St. Clare hosted Student Led Conferences on March 15^th and 16^th.

The students had the opportunity to show their parents what they know and are learning in school.  Parents were enlightened through a “Gallery Walk” of many of the activities that their child were engaged in throughout the term. Parents were able to talk with their children with regards to their work displayed throughout the room.  Chromebooks were also available for students to showcase their work in Religion, Social Studies and Science that incorporated technology.  Also highlighted were the French dialogue videos on the Smartboard.

 

 

We were so pleased to have such a great turnout for this wonderful “Celebration of Learning”.  Below are some pictures of some of the students’ work on the displays from the “Gallery Walk”.  

 

 

 

 

Gr. 4V Religion: “Our Lenten Journey Project”

The season of Lent is also a time for spiritual growth and renewal. At this time, we are called to commemorate and reflect on the Lord’s passion through spiritual preparation, conversion, and penance.  Since the beginning of March in 4V Religion, we have been examining content relating to the season of Lent.  Lent is the period in which we prepare for the death and resurrection of our saviour Jesus Christ. 

 

Leading up to their project, the students explored the various symbols of the Lenten season and their significance. The students’ task was to create an illustrative collage or scene which clearly illustrates the meaning of the journey that Catholics travel during the sacred season of Lent. 

 

The following are examples of some of the wonderful and creative work that was created by the students.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Lenten Food & Toiletry Item Drive

 

 

 

This year, our Lenten Social Justice project has been to collect food and toiletry items with all proceeds going to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.  This organization is affiliated with Ascension Parish: the primary goal of the society is to ensure all Catholic families in our school area get the assistance they need. 

The campaign began Monday, March 6 and continued until Wednesday, March 22, 2017.  This Lenten collection has been very successful as a large amount of food and toiletry items has been collected for redistribution to very deserving less fortunate families in our parish community.  We are moved and inspired by the generous response from our students, parents and staff to assist these families in need.

Below are some pictures of the collection in the glass display cases in the “Crossing”.
