Good afternoon!

We had a really fun Friday today!  The children really had a lot of fun at the Skate-a-thon today.  It was a lot of fun seeing them out there enjoying themselves as they learned to skate. We are already looking forward to next year!  I think that by taking the chance to get out there and learn to skate, it was helping our students become risk-takers, which is an important element of the IB Learner Profile.  Today we also worked on language, and social studies.  In social studies the children continue exploring maps. They were given maps and had to read them to find information and directions.  They seemed to have a lot of fun trying to locate different items and places on real life maps. 

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, rewrite incorrect spelling words ten times each (if they haven't already) and Language page 143 - 144.

Important information:  The summer uniforms are allowed to be worn at SJA now that Easter has passed.  This means that the white polo shirt can be worn with the SJA gray pants or tunics with or without a sweater.

The math re-test took place at lunch recess.  Marked spelling tests will be going home with your child tonight if they wrote the re-test.

Have a great weekend!
