Hello Parents!
Today the students started off
their morning with Novel Study summative presentations! After each
presentation, students were able to ask questions, and I was quite please with
the answers given. Overall, the presentations were very well done. Many groups
really stepped it up by incorporating Powerpoint presentations, stop-motion
videos with voice overs, flyers, posters, interviews, drawings, and 3-D models!
After lunch, the last two groups
presented, and then they all got ready for Gym. Following that, the students
worked on a UOI Coding worksheet, which addressed the lines of inquiry. They
first completed it independently, then discussed their answers with two peers,
and then we had a whole class discussion. After second break, the students had
French, and then they filled out their agendas when they got back to class.
Following that, we practiced our Arts Night songs, said our farewells to
Rishaan (it was his last day today), and then they packed up and got ready to
go home.
Just a few important notes before I go:
1. Tomorrow is casual day!
2. UOI: add to your Lines of Inquiry
worksheet.
3. Hatch Canada: log onto your Hatch
Canada account, and try a few new activities. TOMORROW will be our last workshop session, so please make
sure your child attends school, so they don’t miss any information!
4. Math: no homework.
5. Novel Study: make sure to bring in your
novel study book tomorrow, if you haven’t already handed it in.
6. Oakwood will be hosting a bake sale
tomorrow. Feel free to send some change with your child, so they can
purchase yummy treats during lunch!
7. Please send a plain WHITE t-shirt (not
tight) for your child to design for our Arts Night performance. These t-shirts
need to be brought to school by TOMORROW (Wednesday, May 31st!) A
simple, plain t-shirt can be purchased from Walmart for about $5, if you do not
already have one at home. IF STUDENTS DO NOT BRING IN A WHITE
T-SHIRT BY TOMORROW, I WILL BUY IT AND I WILL LET PARENTS KNOW HOW MUCH THEY
OWE ME. We will be decorating these t-shirts on Thursday, so it is
important that every student has one.
8. Spelling: Lesson #28 test will be on
Thursday, June 1st. Words are up on the blog!
9. 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 the
permission forms- please make sure to read them carefully and answer them
thoroughly. These forms will be due on Thursday, June 1st (latest!)
10. 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) on Thursday, June 1st. Any questions regarding the spelling
bee can be directed to Ms. Chang, at vchang@stjudesacademy.com
11. 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!
12. 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!
13. 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).
14. The PYP Grade 3-6 Promotion
Ceremony will be on Wednesday, June 14th
at 9am.
15. The last day of school will
be on Friday, June 16th!
Report cards will be sent home this day. Only 13 days of school left!
That pretty much sums it up for today. I hope everyone has a
wonderful night!
Ms.
Ramnarine
Grade 5
St. Jude’s Academy
