It's #WorldMentalHealthDay, here's a reminder to take good care of yourself. Manage your stress and, if you can, help those around you with their own. If you need professional help, don't hesitate, seek it out, your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
Happy Birthday to an author so clever, with books so fun they can be read forever. Thank you, #DrSeuss, for inspiring so many young potential readers to take their first steps towards taking an interest in books.
Happy Family Day! Today is the day during which we appreciate our families and give thought towards those who love and support us with all of their hearts. To the people who give us warmth and acceptance in our lives, thank you all! #FamilyDay
All the hard work culminated to this very moment in time! Yes, the Poetry Cafe, a place where Grade 6 students can present their finest masterpieces to one another. Here, students spoke with great emotion, and listened attentively. It was a day to remember. @StLukeOttawa
The Grade 6's of @StLukeOttawa created wonderful rhyming pattern poetry as well as Tanka and Haiku poems. The Tanka focused on their inner feelings, while the Haiku focused on the outside world. Both poems were placed within a shape representing their subjects. Truly beautiful!
Our Grade 6 students (@StLukeOttawa ) began dipping their toe into the wide ocean of poetry, as they practiced their descriptive writing with a focus on the 5 human senses, through a picture of their choosing. Here we have some rather nice choices!
(Far more Far Back Friday!) The Christmas concert was accompanied by a shadow play too! @StLukeOttawa's Grade 6 class had too much talent for just one show!
Far back Friday continues on, as we take a look at the @StLukeOttawa Grade 6 class practice their hand bell songs for the Christmas play! They did wonderfully during practice, and even better during the show itself! I'm quite proud!
It's time for a "Far Back Friday", ladies and gentlemen. In the midst of this new semester, it does a heart good to look back at all the good times had in the classroom. Let's start with a friendly game of "Hungry Hungry Hippos"! (Teacher participation is must!)

For books to aid in classroom empathy and the understanding of immigrant and refugee lifestyles, sneak a peek at this flyer! Great resources. @globalEdUOttawa
Learning about the human skeletal system, @StLukeOttawa's grade 6 classroom display their ability to locate, place and name the many bones of the human body! There's nothing "Humerus" about the level of progress seen here.
This one sure "sounded" like a winner to me! Wonderful sound based presentation by @CheyenneBruyns, @victoriawn7 and @TashSabourin. Thank you for the great presentation.
Exploring the galaxy in style with a snazzy passport in hand! Excellent presentation and a fun activity, brought to you by @marcantoinebalt, @andrewsmith902 and @mkama046.
