The students in junior kindergarten have partnered with Mrs. Narduzzi’s grade 3 & 4 class twice a month to listen to award winning read alouds with their reading buddies. The junior kindergarten students have also been participating in a Read at Home Program that encourages reading which is an essential part of children’s education. The students are encouraged to listen nightly to short stories at home.
The Sudbury Public Library will also be present in the class to accept new library card registrations for the junior kindergarten students. Students and parents are encouraged to use the free sign out privileges of fiction and nonfiction children books and other available resources.

Irish Eyes are Smiling!
Mrs.Visentin’s junior kindergarten students at St.Francis celebrated St. Patrick’s Day before their March break and students wore green clothing to school and their leprechaun hats to wish a “top of the morning” to all. The students made leprechaun puppets, dramatized rhymes, listened to Irish music and even did a little jig to celebrate the luck of the Irish. Students also learned about St. Patrick and how the saint taught the people of Ireland about God many years ago.

The Art of Retelling a Story
Students in Miss O’Reilly’s grade two class are showcasing their book reports this week in the form of “book floats”. The students are presenting a book they read in a more three-dimensional way known as story dioramas.
Miss. O’Reilly says that lots of the other students at St. Raphael’s have been busy working on bridge projects, science fair projects, and heritage fair projects and her kids wanted to take something big on and feel a sense of ownership too.
