Hello Parents!
Today the students started off
their morning with Art! They each designed a record, which will be used as
decoration for Arts Night. All PYP students will be designing one record each,
so it will be a fun game to try to find
your child’s record when you attend our Arts Night performance! After this
period, Hatch Canada came to our classroom, for our last workshop. The students
played around on the laptops, and tried inputting codes to make each program do
specific things. The three instructors assisted each student, and gave them
tips and support. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m glad the students
really enjoyed this opportunity!
After lunch, the students had
Music, and then they had Gym. After second break, they had French, and then
they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. I then handed out
their Unit 11 math test, and their UOI Summative, (please sign and return both of these), and went through each option
with them as a whole class. Students are to look over the outline and rubric
with their parents, and they should come to school tomorrow, ready to start!
With this being said, if students can bring in their devices tomorrow, that
will be great.
After, I handed back some of the
Tree Top Trekking permission forms, as it was brought to my attention that many
of them were missing information. PLEASE
CHECK YOUR CHILD’S AGENDA, AND IF THEY HAVE THEIR PERMISSION FORM IN IT, PLEASE
SIGN/ FILL OUT THE INFORMATION WHERE I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED. This is very
important, as students will not be able to attend the trip on Friday without ALL information fully completed and
returned by TOMORROW! (Note: for the sections where it asks for a
witness signature, you can have your spouse, a friend or another family member
(adult) sign off on that. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE IT EMPTY! After mentioning this
to the students, they all packed up and got ready to go home.
Just a few
important notes before I go:
1. UOI: Look over the summative outline
and rubric. Bring your device tomorrow,
so you can begin working on it! Remember, since this is a summative, ALL work
must be done in class, so I can observe and mark your process and understanding
of the topic.
2. Math: Parents are to sign and return
the Unit 11 math test.
3. Novel Study: Parents are to sign and
return the summative rubric.
4. A FEW STUDENTS DID NOT BRING IN A WHITE T-SHIRT, SO I WILL BUY IT AND I
WILL LET PARENTS KNOW HOW MUCH THEY OWE ME. We will be decorating these
t-shirts TOMORROW, so it is important that every student has one.
5. Spelling: Lesson #28 test will be TOMORROW (Thursday, June 1st).
Words are up on the blog!
6. We
have one more P.E. trip that the
grade 5’s will be participating in- Tree
Top Trekking, this Friday, June 2nd. I HAVE SENT HOME SOME PERMISSION FORMS THAT WERE INCOMPLETE. IF YOUR
CHILD HAS IT IN THEIR AGENDA, PLEASE SIGN/INITIAL/FILL OUT THE SECTIONS THAT I
HAVE HIGHLIGHTED, AND RETURN IT TOMORROW!
7. The
SJA Spelling Bee was a great
success! Congratulations to Mehar, for placing second in the Grade 6
competition! He will go on to face the winners from The Maples, as well as the
winners from Sunnybrook School (a school in Toronto) TOMORROW (Thursday, June 1st).
Any questions regarding the spelling bee can be directed to Ms. Chang, at vchang@stjudesacademy.com
8. 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!
9. The Grade 5 class will be
contributing to the bake sale, which
has been pushed back to Arts Night! This means any NUT FREE baked goods brought
in for the bake sale, will be sold during our Arts Night exhibition. Also, if
any parents would like to volunteer to help out, that would be greatly
appreciated!
10. Arts Night will be on Wednesday, June 7th! We will
be having a daytime rehearsal at 1pm (parents can attend), and our final
performance starting at 7:00pm (all students are expected to participate in the
evening performance). Please make sure your child is here by 6:30pm, to ensure
they are not late.
11. The PYP Grade 3-6 Promotion
Ceremony will be on Wednesday, June 14th
at 9am.
12. The last day of school will
be on Friday, June 16th!
Report cards will be sent home this day. Only 12 days of school left!
That’s pretty much it for today. I hope everyone has a
wonderful night!
Ms.
Ramnarine
