Mrs. Raso’s grade 1/2 class participated in an amazing workshop last week with special visitors from the Engineering Outreach team of Waterloo University. The university students are running the ESQube mobile workspace STEM workshop that helps engage students in a more hands on learning approach virtually. Students learned several things about animals, adaptations and their habitats, as well as creating their very own animals using the scratch junior APP and coding their own stories. Students were so excited to have special guests in their classroom to give them a different perspective on what experiential learning looks like online.

St. David School Receives Special Visit from Author!
Grade 1 & 2 students at St. David school had a special visitor from Sarasota, Florida this morning. The students have been reading the series of Howard B. Wigglebottom books in class – as a surprise Mrs. Raso invited Mr. Howard Binko and his friend Howard B. Wigglebottom for a visit.
Mr. Binko, the author read a story called, “Mud and Rainbows”. Howard teaches us that, “We can’t change the world but we can change our mind”.
Afterwards, Mr. Binko showed the students his educational website where students can play a variety of games. The We Do LIsten website also gives students the opportunity to write and colour their own storybook.
Teachers can book Mr. Howard Binko for a visit by emailing him at: info@wedolisten.com
Join us and Learn About the Benefits of Financial Literacy for Your Child
The Parent Involvement Committee is very pleased to once again to support virtual learning sessions throughout the winter and spring.
Financial Literacy is a new section in the grade 1 to 8 math curriculum. Students will not only learn to count and recognize money, but they will also be exposed to saving, budgeting, and even investing. This will ensure that they become more self-sufficient and financially stable at a young age, and provides an opportunity for students to develop a good relationship with money so that they may set realistic financial goals for themselves in the future. This session will explore financial literacy and the benefits of incorporating it into the classrooms at Sudbury Catholic Schools!
