Elsahan


Because of their fantastic fundraising efforts, SJA students were treated to the spectacle of Elsahan - Mr. Monaghan dressed as Frozen's Elsa. We are impressed that he made it through the entire day wearing those shoes. If students continue in their efforts, poor Mr. Palumbo will have his legs waxed very soon. Ouch!!

 

In math we began a new measurement unit. Students learned about variables, and formulas when calculating perimeter for polygons. They are asked to complete practice questions on page 344 & 345 of the MMS textbook.

During inquiry time, students continued working on conducting their surveys, composing their interview questions, creating a slideshow, planning their display boards, editing their French component, and working on their art piece. Students who did not complete the minimum amount of work had to stay in during recesses and gym to get caught up. 

15 School Days Till Exhibition 

Groups who have had their art ideas approved should begin bringing in art supplies.

Grade 6s had French and Gym class today.
