Hello Parents!

I hope all of the “Grade 6s” enjoyed Year Ahead Day! A glimpse into the future is always fun!

Just a few reminders:
1.       Math workbook, P# 90-91 (lesson 9: measuring mass) is due tomorrow.
2.       UOI final summative is due TOMORROW!!! This means all groups will present their display (part 1), verbally tell us about 3 changes in states (part 2), and will show us an experiment/ demonstration (part 3). Please look at their assignment outline, rubric and success criteria, if you would like to know more about it. Please note that all groups will be expected to present tomorrow!
3.       Students should read for at least 30 minutes. We will be starting our new novel study book in the near future, so until then, students should be reading anything of their choice, daily. 
4.       Please sign your child’s Lesson #16 spelling test. Also, we will have our LESSON #17 SPELLING TEST THIS FRIDAY. The words are up on the blog!
5.       Mme. Stella has mentioned that the students will have their FRENCH TEST this Friday (January 27th).
6.       The lunch order forms are now being completed online! The due date for February lunches will be THIS FRIDAY (JANUARY 27TH).  Please look at the instructions at the end of this blog, and contact bsmith@stjudesacademy.com if you need extra information (or help) with this new process.
7.       Re-registration packages were sent home last month. If you are interested in registering your child at St. Jude’s Academy again next year (and I hope you are!), please be sure to fill out and send back the packages AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The deadline for these packages will be February 9th, and then after that date, spaces open up to the public. So, please don’t wait until last minute to make these important decisions!
8.       There will be no soccer practice for the boys soccer team until sometime in March. I have yet to get the final details, but I was told it will be postponed until the field condition is suitable and safe enough for practice.
9.       Lastly, SJA’s Annual Poems and Speeches Competition is quickly approaching! The grade 5 class will be reciting their speeches in front of the grade 6 class, and the winners from that will go on to the schoolwide competition on Friday, February 24th. The winners from that will go on to face the winners from The Maples on March 1st. I have sent home the outline, rubric and package, so please take a look at it with your child (and sign off on the front page!). Also, for tomorrow, students must have their topic chosen, and should bring in their devices, so they can begin their research.

That’s it for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
