Hello Parents!
Today the students started off their day with UOI. They completed a worksheet, and then copied down definitions relating to the Canadian government. This will help them a lot when they start working on their summative (which will be handed out tomorrow). While they were independently working on their UOI, I was completing DRA’s, which will be sent home with the term 3 report card.
After lunch, we had a Spring Fundraiser assembly in the auditorium (which cut into our Math period), and then the students had Gym right after. After second break, the students had French, and they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. We decided to talk about the list of Role and Responsibilities for Canadian citizens (for UOI), and we shared ideas that we found on the internet. Shortly after, the students got ready to go home. Please note: Students did not get their math tests back today. They will be sent home tomorrow instead.
Just a few important notes before I go:
1.       Math: no homework
2.       Novel Study: read chapter 11 and write a corresponding journal entry (topic of your choice). Please make sure these journal entries are at least one page, and are written in cursive writing!
3.       UOI: review your list of definitions, and become familiar with what they mean. This will help with your summative!
4.       The Spring Fundraiser started this week! (See the list below). The pledge forms will be due on Friday, April 28th. Students who raise $35 or more in pledge money will attend a laser tag trip for free!
·         Monday, April 24th : Costume ($3)
·         Tuesday, April 25th: Popcorn ($2.50/ bag)
·         Wednesday, April 26th: Pancakes (Starting at $2)
·         Thursday, April 27th: Ice cream sundaes ($5)
·         Friday, April 28th: Dance Party ($5)
5.       Wednesday, April 26th is casual day. Students can bring in $2 to participate (if they haven’t paid for it at the beginning of the school year).
6.       Due to the amount of lost items, the school is promoting iron-on name labels! They cost $5.00 for 15 labels- I can provide the order form, if you are interested!
7.       May lunch forms are available online, and will be due on Friday, April 28th. Email Mrs. Smith if you have any questions or need help (bsmith@stjudesacademy.com). http://mydigitalmailroom.com/sja/
8.       A few more P.E. trips have been added to the Grade 5 list.
a)       Squash: Monday, May 1st and Monday, May 8th. We will leave at 1:30pm, and will be back before the end of the school day. The permission forms have been sent home, and they are to be returned by THURSDAY, APRIL 27TH!
b)      Tree Top Trekking- Friday, June 2nd. I will post more details as soon as I get some.  
That pretty much sums it up for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
