Scary Stories

Students are happy with how easily they understood today's lesson on multiplication. We worked on reviewing the terms factor and product, related facts (if 8 x 5 = 40 then 5 x 8 = 40), multiplying by 1 and 0, and patterns in the multiples of 9. Students completed their MMS homework in class today.

In arithmetic, students wrote a quiz to show their understanding of concepts.

In language, students finished up their list 10 spelling review and completed their second language unit. Everyone is ready for the language test tomorrow. Language books are coming home today. Students have been working hard to get some of tomorrow's work done today so we can free up some time to have a class party at the end of day tomorrow. Many have worked through recess to accomplish this.

In our inquiry into story telling, we reviewed the elements of a story, and the reason for using graphic organisers before we begin writing a story. Students then set to work to complete their organisers and write their scary stories. We are looking forward to hearing these stories tomorrow.

Students attended French and gym class.

Please remember the paving that will be taking place at St. Jude's Academy beginning November 4th, 2013.  We anticipate the project to take two weeks to complete.  During this time, the school parking lot will be closed.  Parking for pick-up and drop-off will have to be found on Campobello Road. 

 There will be a pyloned section in front of the school that may be used to pull-up and drop your children off in the mornings if parents choose not to park and would like drop their children off in a 'kiss and ride' style.  SJA staff will be assisting the 'kiss and ride' students as they depart their vehicles and enter the building from 8:00 - 8:45.  Parents who choose to find parking and prefer to assist their children while entering the building are free to do so.  The building must only be entered through the front doors.

 During afternoon pick-up, parents are asked to find parking on Campobello Road.  All parents will be asked to enter the school from the front doors which will be opened at 3:40 as usual. 

 We thank you for your patience as we continue to make improvements to the school facility.  If you have any further questions about the paving project please let us know.
