Hello Parents!

First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you for attending our wonderful Arts Night exhibition! The Grade 5’s really pulled through, and performed with enthusiasm! I am SO proud of each and every one of them! Also, a BIG thank you goes out to those parents who brought a contribution for our bake sale! Your involvement is greatly appreciated!

Today, the students started off their morning with Music. Following that, they had their Lesson #29 spelling test when they got back to class. Once that was done, they were able to work on their UOI Coding summative. Today was the last day for them to work on this, as their summatives are due tomorrow, and all students will be presenting their information!

After lunch, the students had Math, and I introduced Unit 3, Lesson 2 (Measuring and Constructing Angles). I thoroughly explained the key concepts from this lesson, and we used the whiteboard to draw examples and explain them. After, the students got ready and I took them outside for Gym.

When they came back to class, they continued working on their summative, and then they got ready for second break. After that, they had French, and then they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. Students were given the last bit of class time to complete last minute touches on their summatives, and then they got ready to go home.

Just a few important notes before I go:

1.       UOI: The Coding summative is due TOMORROW! ALL students will be presenting their report/ game in the morning, and they should come to school with all of their needed items, (ex. Laptop, report, USB, etc.). This is the last summative for the year, so come prepared and ready!

2.       Math: Unit 3, Lesson #2- workbook, P#38-39.  

3.       The SJA Parent Guild has organized an Ice Cream Day for the last day of school! The forms, along with the money, are due TOMORROW (Friday, June 9^th).

4.       Any unpaid aftercare fees are due by MONDAY, JUNE 12^th. If these fees are unpaid, your child’s report card will be withheld until payment is received.

5.       We at SJA have had a wonderful year with your children, but it is time to send them off to the next grade. Our PYP promotion and graduation ceremonies are taking place next week. Students are asked to dress smart casual on these days. The ceremonies will take place over two days. The JK to Grade 2 promotion ceremony will take place on Tuesday, June 13th. The Grade 3 to 5 promotion ceremony and Grade 6 graduation will take place on Wednesday, June 14th. Both ceremonies begin at 9 am and should be completed by 10:30 am. Parents and families are invited to attend. We look forward to seeing you then.

6.       Thursday, June 15^th will be jersey/ sports clothes day!

7.       The last day of school will be on Friday, June 16^th! Students should wear their house colours on this day! Report cards will be sent home at the end of the day. We will be having an, “End of the Year” classroom party in the morning of this day too! Please feel free to send any NUT-FREE treats that the students can indulge in!

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!

That’s pretty much it for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful night! Only 6 days of school left!
