Hello Parents!

Today the students started off their morning with Gym. Following that, we had our lesson #22 spelling test, and then began working on our UOI summative. The students worked on gathering their last bit of research, and then they were told to begin putting their point form notes into full sentences. This weekend, they must type up their good copy, and bring it to school on Monday.

After lunch, the students continued working on their UOI summative for one period, and then we took up our math homework. Following that, I introduced lesson #7 (Estimating Products and Quotients), and went through a few examples on the whiteboard.

During second break, I offered a math review for students again, and this time, one student took me up on the offer. I hope this means that students are understanding the content! After the break, the students had French, and then filled out their agendas when they got back to class. We then took up the comprehension questions for Chapter 16, and discussed the main points in this chapter. We talked about what we thought would happen next, and how much longer they think Brian will be alone for. Following this, they got ready to go home.

Just a few important notes before I go:

1.       Math: Unit 8, Lesson 7- Workbook P#116-117.

2.       Novel Study: read Chapter 17, and answer the corresponding questions.

3.       UOI Summative: In class, students began putting their point form notes into full sentences. This weekend they have to type up this information, and bring their final copy to school on Monday. If students are having problems with their printers at home, they can email their work to me, and I will print it when I come to school on Monday morning.

4.       The Grade 5’s and up will be going on a Ski trip on Wednesday, March 8^nd, and Thursday, March 9^th. This trip will also include other grades (from grade 5 to 12), and it will be a full day thing. Students must dress warm, as we will be outside almost all day! We will be leaving the school at 6:45am, and we will arrive back to St. Jude’s at 5:00pm. It is encouraged that lunches are packed, although there is a place on site that will be selling snacks.

5.       Lastly, next week will be spirit week! Students are encouraged to participate all week!

Monday: Pajama day

Tuesday: Crazy hair day/ Colourful (neon) day

Wednesday: Superhero/ Princess day

Thursday: House colours

Friday: St. Patty’s Day- wear green!

That’s pretty much it for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
