In-Class Spelling Bee Contest


Today we worked in our portable again. We will be here for a few more days and then we will be in the main building before the exciting move.

We began our day with our in-class spelling bee. Congratulations to Jasleen, Shannon, Temi, Ashmeen, and Jessica who have made it to the SJA Spelling Bee finals this Friday, June 5 at 9 am. Families are welcome to attend.

Next up was math. We did not begin a new lesson, but reviewed the lesson we covered on Friday as more than half the class was away. Most students completed and corrected all practice problems in class. These students then completed and corrected our first lesson on probabilities where students described experimental and theoretical probabilities. Students who did not get done in class is asked to complete the practice problems on p. 414 & 415 for homework. Students will be writing a unit test on probability on Monday, June 8. Students are bringing home their patterning tests today. Please take time to review, sign, and return the test.

Next up was novel study time. We took time to allow for reading time for chapters 7 & 8 as many students were away when we did this last week. We had discussion time about these chapters. Students then read chapter 9 and answered the questions relating to this chapter.

We had inquiry time next. We took time to discuss what we had learned about Hinduism from our guest speakers Dave and Gina last Friday. Students that were in class for this visit shared what they learned with students that were away on the soccer and choir trips.

Students attended Drama, French, and Gym class today.

Look out for Summer Fair letters and Cookie Dough Fundraiser letters coming home today.
