We Take Charge and Present Tense

This month WE TAKE CHARGE of our
environment and learn ways to help make our community and planet a more sustainable place for the future. Our Social Justice group is making announcements this month about the little things we can do to make an environmental impact here at St. Gabe’s! Our first challenge is to bring a reusable water bottle to school, it’s so easy to just fill up at our water fountains! To help encourage all students to be more water aware, we are selling reusable St. Gabriel
water bottles for $3 all month. These bottles will also be available for purchase at Meet the Teacher night on Sept. 24!

Here is the link to the Social Justice website.  Check it out!

In Literacy we have been reviewing the characteristics of a narrative.  Check out the anchor chart on the Literacy Anchor Chart Archive page of our website.  One of those attributes is that a narrative is typically written in the past tense.  Some of us needed a refresher about verb tense and conjugating verbs.  Check out the cute comic (storyboard) that my son found in the Windsor Star recently.  Enjoy!

I hope that each student has continued to read daily (yes, including weekends).  Parents, if your child(ren) have read everyday from Friday September 11 to Thursday September 17, please jot a note indicating so in Friday's area in their agenda.  I will be checking them on Friday morning.  Thank you very much in advance.
