We spent
most of our morning working on IB portfolios and on preparing for this Thursday’s
student-led conferences.
As soon this
was completed, students were free to work on their exhibition work. Today’s
goal was to learn more about their exhibition issue with a focus on their
central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concept questions. They did this by reading
and taking notes.
Students had
math class today. The lesson was interrupted by spring fundraiser assembly. The
unit test will take place on Friday, April 5th.
Bouldering permission
and waiver forms are past due.
Students are
reminded to keep practicing for the spelling bee. The Grade 6 in-class bee will
take place on Thursday, April 4th. The Grade 7/8 in-class spelling bee
will be held tomorrow
Spring
fundraising payments can still be made.
Tomorrow is
World Autism Day. We are asking SJA students to support our friends at Oakwood
Academy by wearing blue and contributing a toonie. Please see the information
below.
Wear BLUE
for $2 on
utism
Awareness DayWhat is Blue for $2?
§ Across the world, schools are
participating in Autism Awareness Day where wearing the colour blue celebrates
inclusiveness, understanding and acceptance.
§
Wearing blue is in support of those who are on the
Autism Spectrum. Donating a toonie provides you with the opportunity to wear blue on April 2nd to support
Oakwood and everyone on the Autism Spectrum and their families.
Why
is Blue for $2
important?
v Wearing blue on World Autism Awareness
Day shows your support and raises awareness of how we all should care about
everyone on the Autism Spectrum.
What is Autism?
·
Autism impacts the way individuals communicate, understand other
people and learn
·
Their senses are effected – either over stimulated or under
stimulated (e.g., busy places might be really overwhelming or certain clothes
might be uncomfortable)
·
As a result their emotional, social, developmental skills are
impacted
ð All funds raised during Autism Awareness Month go towards much needed sensory
equipment and other learning tools to support our student’s developmental
needs.
