Day 3 – NGO Presentations


 
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.

Our Very First Book Fair is Coming Soon – Yee-Haw!

“Saddle Up & Read” with the first Scholastic Book Fair at St. Jude’s Academy – December 7 to December 14

There will be lots of exciting books, posters, bookmarks, pens and pencils, etc. to choose from!

Proceeds will go to buying great new books for our library.

Students interested in being part of the Student Crew will be meeting tomorrow (Nov.21) at lunch.

More Parent Volunteers are also needed.  If you’d like to help out please contact Ms. Hayward at hhayward@stjudesacademy.com
