Christ within us,
Light above us,
Earth beneath us,
Love surrounds us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Religion: As a way to wrap up this past month’s virtue of “love”, see how many of these you can do. Some may not be possible or may need to be postponed (ex., you could collect things to donate and wait until it is possible to do so). Listen to the story “Be Kind” by Pat Zietlow - did you show kindness and love in any of the ways shown in the story? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAo4-2UzgPo&feature=share
We see God's beauty everywhere in creation - especially as we begin to enjoy the warmer weather May begins! This week, challenge your child to go on a nature walk with you and point out all of God's creation they are thankful for! To get them started, have them watch the following video and join in the song, The Wonders I See. Students will recognize the song and video from our Kinder Religion classes and liturgies. They may share some of their favourite gifts of creation from the song. Even at this difficult time, we can be truly grateful for the wonders of God's creation!

French: Écouter (listen) l'émission Passe-Partout: le Printemps des animaux
https://coucou.telequebec.tv/videos/49691/passe-partout/le-printemps-des-animaux
Did you recognize some of the French Spring words? Which ones?
Physical Education: Jump, Hop, Leap, and Roll Coding
Materials: Paper, marker, small container
Learning Outcome: Perform a variety of fundamental movement skills and practice making patterns using these skills.
Cut up small pieces of paper and write movement skills on each piece (e.g., write jump on 5 papers, hop on 5 papers, leap on 5 papers, roll on 5 papers, etc.). Place the papers in a small container. Ensure there is enough space to do the activity away from any safety hazards. Have the child pull 6 papers out of the container and arrange them in a line making the performance code. For example, the code may be jump, hop, hop, roll, leap, leap. Perform the code together a few times and then challenge yourself to see if you can do it by memory. Continue to make new codes and perform them and change the movement skills if you want to try new movements. Other movements can include skip, run, or dodge
Few examples of movement skills.
· DODGE: a rapid shift of the body from one line of travel to another
· SKIP: a rhythmical flow of the step-hop pattern
· RUN: move fast with your feet, and one foot off the ground all the time
· JUMP: two-foot take-off with two-foot landing
· HOP: one foot take-off with same foot landing
· DYNAMIC BALANCE: control of the body as it moves
· KICK: imparting force to an object with the foot
· DRIBBLE with the hands: bouncing the ball up and down so that it stays in the dribbler's possession
· DRIBBLE with the feet: controlling the ball with one's feet so that it says in the dribbler's possession while travelling
· OVERHAND THROW
· CATCH: receiving an object with the hands
STEAM:Walking water
https://hookedonscience.jwpapp.com/m/4C1zdFA1/walking-water
INGREDIENTS :
1. 3 Transparent Plastic Cups
2.2 Paper Towels
3.Yellow and Blue Food Coloring
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Fill two of the cups with warm water. Add yellow food coloring to one of the cups and mix. Add blue food coloring to the other cup and mix.
STEP 2: Place an empty cup in the middle of the cups filled with water.
STEP 3: Twist the paper towels lengthwise.
STEP 4: Place one end of a twisted paper towel into the cup with yellow food coloring and the other end into the empty cup. Place the end of the other twisted paper towel into the blue food coloring and the other end into the empty cup and observe.
EXPLANATION: The yellow and blue water moves or “walks” through the paper towel to the empty cup. As the yellow and blue colors mix, in the empty cup, green appears. When two primary colors are mixed together, you create a secondary color. Mixing blue and red creates purple, mixing red and yellow creates orange, and mixing yellow and blue creates green.
