It's hard to believe that this is the last week in February! Time sure does fly by when your on an exciting journey of learning! Here is what we'll be up to in grade three this week! Religion: Last week students created their "Gardens of Kindness" in their Religion notebooks. This is where students are recording kind acts that they have received from others. This week, students will hear the Gospel from this past Sunday where Jesus tells his followers to love their neighbours and to even love their enemies! Students will reflect on ways that they can show love to their neighbours each day. We will also begin an inquiry about the Holy Spirit.

A Valentine Prayer
I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above to fill your heart and bless your soul With the precious gift of love. I asked Him for sincere love The kind that's meant to stay Just like the generous love You give to those you touch each day. I prayed for love from family And from every cherished friend Then I asked the Lord to give you His love that knows no end. (Author unknown) It's hard to believe we are now in the month of February! Wiarton Willie says it will be an early spring! Here's how our first week in February looks in grade three! Religion: This Sunday marks the fourth Sunday in Ordinary time. Last week students heard the text "Dear Pope Francis." This book is filled with letters that children have written to Pope Francis and his replies to them. Our students began writing their own letters to Pope Francis! They have some very interesting questions for him. On Monday, students will hear the Gospel from this past Sunday where Jesus speaks in his own hometown, but people don't believe he is God's Son. Students will reflect on questions like: "Do you recognize Jesus when he visits you?" Next ,we will explore who the Holy Spirit is and the gifts of the Spirit that can bring us closer to God!
