Remember to return your reregistration packages to secure your spot for the 2018/2019 school year.

Re-registration deadline- Monday February 12, 2008 at 4:00pm

A message from the Admissions Coordinator…

Hello SJA Parents and Guardians,

This is just a friendly reminder that our deadline for re-registration is just days away! Currently, we have a number of families on waitlists wanting to secure any vacancies that may be available to them once this deadline has passed.  Therefore, in order to ensure that your child has a secured placement for the upcoming academic year (2018-2019), we kindly ask that if you have not already done so, to please complete and return your child’s registration package to their homeroom teacher as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support with St. Jude’s Academy.

Best regards,

Helen Markovic

 

Day 6 – More about the Properties of Air, the Universe and Everything

We started the day with our flight unit. First we took up the investigations students conducted yesterday. It is an understatement to say we went over the allotted time planned on today’s inquiry time. Student questions kept coming and these led to other questions which then led to other questions. We discussed air pressure, mass, weight, gravity, the atmosphere, space, the sun, planets, moons, meteors, the particle theory of matter, plans, trains, automobiles, etc, etc, etc. We conducted more investigations to help us understand the properties of air.

We finished up our Viking art projects …… and they look amazing. Have a look at them when next you are in the school.

When we eventually got to math, we continued learning about ratios. Today we wrote equivalent ratios and compared ratios to solve word problems. Students should complete the practice work on pages 28 – 33 of their MMS 7 workbooks for homework if they did not get done in class. Students will be writing a test on Wednesday, February 14^th or Thursday, February 15^th.

Students attended French and gym class today.

Valentine’s Day Cookie orders are due on Friday, February 9^th.

 

Keep collecting pledges and donations for the Jump Rope for Heart Event.
