We started off the day today with our weekly spelling tests. The children will be bringing home their marked spelling tests with them tonight. I ask that all incorrect spelling words (including the bonus) be re-written ten times each in their spelling books. In our IB unit of inquiry today we had a class discussion about our 5 senses, and how we can use our five senses to help us describe the materials, objects and structures around us. The children worked on an activity where they had to identify the descriptive words that come from each sense, and match each descriptive word with it's opposite. The students also worked on a crossword that had clues regarding our senses, materials, objects and structures. In the afternoon we used the magazines and newspapers that were brought in to create science collages. The students were asked to find images of structures, objects and materials and glue them into the appropriate categories. They had a lot of fun with this activity! During language the children worked on homophones, picture words, practiced their cursive and we read another chapter of ' Dealing with Dragons' by Patricia Wrede. They also went to french and had a dodge ball session with Ms. Chang's class today. You can see a few pictures of our dodge ball session below!
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each, Letters and Sounds pages 147 - 148 and cursive pages 156 - 157.
Important information: The SJA Running Club will meet again next week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Once we return from the Easter weekend students may come to school dressed in their summer uniforms. This means that students can wear their polo shirts with their gray pants or tunics and do not have to wear a sweater or a vest. Students may also come to school wearing their navy SJA shorts instead of pants on gym days.
Scholastic book order forms and cheques are due by Monday for any students wishing to purchase anything.
April 6th is Good Friday. There is no school on this day.
April 9th is Easter Monday. There is no school on this day.
