We began our
class time with Canada in the World. Students presented their research on their
chosen NGO in the form of an oral presentation.
Students
then worked on their report card comments where they reflected on how they are
developing as IB learners and the learning that has taken place this term.
Students
worked on their science fair projects. Today’s goal was to have students practice
their presentation to the judges. The science fair takes place tomorrow.
Judging will be completed by 2:30 pm. At this time we welcome families to visit
the school and see all the science fair projects from students in JK to Grade
8.
In math we
continued our data management unit. Students learned how they can apply mean,
median, and mode to life situations. They worked through practice pages on p. 111
– 113 of their MMS 7 books. Students who did not get done in class are asked to
complete this work as homework. The data management unit test will probably
take place on Wednesday, December 6th or Thursday, December 7th.
Students
attended French, music, and gym class today.
There is a lot
happening at SJA this week. The long-awaited science fair takes place tomorrow.
Students should be in full uniform for this event – no hoodies. Finally on
Friday we go curling again. Students should come to school dressed in their gym
uniforms. Remember to bring a warm comfortable sweater/jacket, gloves, and a
hat to curl in. Students need to carry their gym shoes in a bag for curling.
Also on Friday, report cards, writing graphs, and math graphs are going home.
Student-Led Conferences
take place next week Thursday, December 7th. Look out for forms
coming home on Thursday with information about on-line booking using
‘Pick-a-Time’. Online bookings begin on Friday, December 1st.
Friday is
the last day to pay for December hot lunch orders.
Students are
asked to check at home for a blazer that they may have taken mistakenly.
