Happy Monday!

We had a different sort of day today, as the children spent the day completing their CAT tests.  I had an opportunity to work with the grade ones, and Ms. Poland got a chance to work with the grade twos.  The children all did a fabulous job staying on track and putting their best effort into these important assessments.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and practice spelling words.

Important information:  
Some important dates are coming up.  Please make a note of the following:

June 12th (tomorrow)- SJA Spelling Bee.  This event will take place at 9am.  All families and friends are welcome to attend to watch the competition.  It is expected to run approximately one hour.  Each class will have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner at the end of the competition.

June 13th-  SJA Graduation Night 

June 14th- Casual Day.  Students will get extra house points from Mr. Sawatsky if they come dressed in a colour from one of the countries still playing in the Euro Cup!

June 14th- Class Picnic.  Our class will be joining Ms. Chang and Ms. Elliot's class on a picnic for the afternoon.  We will be heading to Meadow Green and having a fun day playing outdoor games and activities.  Children are asked to make sure they wear sun screen and bring hats and extra water bottles, as we will be outside from approximately 12:15 to 3:30.   Children are also asked to bring blankets/towels to sit on (if they choose), an old tie (if they would like to participate in a three-legged race), and old sock (for a tag game), and any other fun outdoor games they would like to bring for this fun filled afternoon!

June 15th- Last day of school (1/2 day).  This is a fun day.  Children are welcome to bring in treats if they would like to help celebrate our learning this school year.  Pick up at this day is 11:30.  After school charges will begin at 11:30 and will only be available until 4pm (not the usual 6pm).  

Graduation Night is an event that should be attended by all students and families if possible.  This is an exciting event where the graduating class at SJA will have their graduating ceremony.  All other grades are involved in this exciting event as well.   Each class is called up on stage to shake hands with Mr. Sawatsky and each child will receive their Certificate of Promotion for 'graduating' from one grade to the next.  Each class also has a few students who have been chosen to receive academic awards, which are also handed out that evening.   The event begins at 7pm.  I hope that all families and friends are able to attend!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
