We then began our day by working on math. We spent a big
chunk of time taking up yesterday’s homework on perimeter and area of
rectangles. We then did a strategy lesson on using diagrams to solve problems
relating to perimeter and area. We did a
problem together as a class before students practiced this skill independently.
Students then worked on completing their term 3 reading
assessments. We set the goal yesterday, to have all reading assessments
administered before the end of day today. I am happy to report, that with the
help of my hard working Grade 6s, we have accomplished that goal. Well done,
Grade 6s!
Once students completed their reading assessment, they moved
on to their Exhibition reflection. They made a journal entry about their
successes and challenges through the process of Exhibition.
Students who completed their journal entry then worked on
today’s math problems on p. 351 of the MMS textbook. If students completed this
work too, they were invited to practice their spelling words for tomorrow’s
in-class spelling bee.
We took up today’s math strategy problems after second
recess. We had a practice spelling bee at the end of the day.
Students attended Music and Gym class. We even had a fire
drill.
What a productive day!
Students who made a PowerPoint presentation for Exhibition
are asked to give me a copy of their Power Point by tomorrow. Email or USB is
fine.
Look out for Summer Fiesta letters coming home today. Some students
are bringing home After-Care and uniform violation letters home today.
We are playing squash tomorrow. Be sure to have your gym uniform
and shoes at school tomorrow.
In memory of his brother who passed away, Wade Kosowan, a
parent at The Maples Academy, will be bringing an ice cream truck to SJA on
Wednesday, May 11th. his truck will distribute free ice cream cones to
the PYP students at SJA. The truck will arrive at 11:30am and will stay
until approximately 2pm. Classes will be called out to the truck one by
one to receive their treat. The ice cream is free, but we are encouraging
students to bring a $2 donation that will be collected and donated to the Eden
Food Bank.
Please practice your spelling bee words for this week’s
in-class spelling bee tomorrow.
We have begun uniform checks again! These will happen every now and again
to ensure that all SJA students are wearing proper uniform. Uniform pieces must
be bought through Alpa and Multiform Canada. Uniform violations will be sent
home if a student is not wearing the proper piece of clothing! First violation:
a warning to parents. Second violation: the office will notify a parent and the
correct uniform piece must be brought to the school the same day. Third
violation: uniform piece will be sent home at parent’s expense. Fourth
violation: community service hours will be assigned. Thank you in advance for
your cooperation!
