Does going back –to school after a break make you feel nervous? Excited? Upset? Joyful? All feelings are valid. If you’re looking for some extra support as you return to class, here are some tips that may help boost your mood. https://t.co/2c0AuCrd6U

Seeing lots of progress @StAgnesCES this afternoon. We are so close to being water tight. Ductwork is being installed in the gym while roofing is well underway. @WCDSBFacilities

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

Thank you for hosting us @UWEngOutreach! We visited the Crash Lab & RoboHub, designed and explored a @tinkercad building in AR (Augmented Reality) and built, then programmed a Lego Robot! These Engineers are feeling inspired & confident! @StAgnesCES #wcdsbAwesome @WCDSBInnovates

"What you plant today, you will harvest tomorrow." 🌱

Thank you @WCDSBInnovates for the "Foodprints for our Future" microgreens. Ss excitedly check on their microgreens each morning. Micro Gardens are good for the soul AND environment. @StAgnesCES #wcdsbAwesome #wcdsbAwaken

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

Thank you @WCDSBInnovates for hosting this incredible #WCDSBAwesome STEAM Carnival. My kids are definitely benefiting from the idea sharing and community collaboration! #wcdsbNTIP #WCDSBAwaken

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

My junior students love Braining Camp for virtual math manipulatives and I love that I can make a custom navigation bar for easy access! #NavBarChallenge #WCDSBInnovates

[StAgnesCES @StAgnesCES]

Thank you so much @LaurierEdu @missionOTmoon #wcdsbNTIP for the fantastic, deep learning experience! Students and educators were immersed and deeply engaged in this experience! @csa_asc #wcdsbAwaken #CEW2023

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: No one is EVER too old for story time! As part of our #BookADayChallenge, the VIP Student of the Day chose some of his best buds to help him lead the class read-a-loud @StAgnesCES #wcdsbAwaken #wcdsbAwesome #wcdsbNTIP

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

These #WCDSBAwesome Gr. 4/5 engineers are unstoppable! We programmed pixel animation and simple songs through https://t.co/VpnCtd5191. One student even programmed the Coffin Dance! @StAgnesCES #wcdsbNTIP #WCDSBAwaken

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

St. Agnes sounds like a construction site for more reasons than just the actual construction!

Quiter, low-stimulation times are important during the day but learning isn't always quiet. It can be loud, hectic and FUN!

Students need to be active and moving; not sitting all day.

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

Students decorated our class windows for Wellness Wednesday last week and I just noticed the "Be Active" bee, walking on the path 😍 🐝 @StAgnesCES #WCDSBAwaken #wcdsbNTIP

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

Partner Power! Gr. 2 experts teach Gr. 4/5s how to program bee-bots. Together, Ss map a community.

Focus on Direction: N/S/E/W (2s), Habitats: green spaces for local species (4s), Levels of Gov't: designing safe parks (5s) and so much more! @StAgnesCES #wcdsbNTIP #WCDSBAwaken

[Region of Waterloo @RegionWaterloo]

How does your #wateruse measure up? This #EarthDay, take time to compare your home water bill to this chart. If you're higher than average, there's good news! The Region's free WET Home Water Review program has solutions to help you save water & money ➡️ https://t.co/PIj5HbyuLn

Students vs Teacher: "Run and Scream"

The goal is to run as far as you can with a single breath (scream while you run, stopping where you are when you stop screaming to take a second breath). Students won this round but not by much!!! #DPA #wcdsbNTIP #WCDSBAwaken @StAgnesCES

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

During Holy Week, Ss reflected on how Jesus spent his final days being of service to others. To be of service in our community, Big Buddies hosted boardgame tutorials for their Little Buddies, showing patience and selflessness. @StAgnesCES #WCDSBAwaken #wcdsbNTIP

[Ms. Runstedler @MsRunstedler]

Today we begin the Triduum, as Lent comes to a close and we approach the Easter season.

This image always strikes me. He used His last day to institute the Eucharist and showed us how to serve others with humility & love.

Wishing you a Holy Triduum & a Blessed Easter Sunday.

[The Umbrella Project @umbrellapjct]

Ways to practice this month's #umbrellaskill. Thank you @curly_therapist. ☂️

[Ms. Thiel @MsKThiel]

Exploring forces of energy (specifically Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and Mechanical Energy). Of course, we had to build a Ping Pong Ball Launcher to test our energy hypothesis. @StAgnesCES

[The Umbrella Project @umbrellapjct]

April's #umbrellaskill is #selfcompassion. Be kind to yourself like you would to a friend.

[Waterloo Catholic DSB @WaterlooCDSB]

On this International Day of Transgender Visibility, we’re renewing our commitment to creating a world where each person is treated with dignity, respect & compassion. As we build the Kingdom of God together, may we promote a culture of love, always seeking the good of others.
