Good Afternoon!
Today was a very exciting day at St. Jude's as we had our annual Terry Fox run. The children got to watch a movie about the history of Terry Fox to further explore why we do the run and raise money. We also worked on our spelling workbooks, our science projects, had our spelling test, and used our journals. The children also went to french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record on the reading chart, and finish copying jot notes into sentences for numbers 1 - 3 for the science project.
Important information: History re-test will be on Monday at lunch recess for those children who scored 84% and lower.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good afternoon!
In today's class we continued working on our science projects. We had our last computer period where the children finished gathering information for their rough copies. A few children have their science folders home with them tonight to collect additional information where needed. Good copies begin being drafted on Friday, so all rough copies must be completed by then. We also worked on cursive, sentence construction, and comprehension practice. The children also went for french and drama classes. We have been doing a lot of work on listening to and/or reading information and pulling out important information. In today's class the children were given short paragraphs and asked to pull out bits of information to test these skills. I have sent home your child's marked comprehension work.
Homework for tonight: Read for 15 minutes and record on reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, finish cursive writing (grade one: page 17, grade two: page 15 - 16), and bring back signed history test if they haven't already.
Important information: Gym day is tomorrow, please have your child dressed in their gym clothes. Terry Fox Run is on Friday, so please ensure your grade one/two comes dressed in their gym clothes for our outdoor run. If your child has raised any pledges, please send them in with the form and money. Any Scholastic orders need to be in by this Friday.
