Thank you so much to all the friends and families that came out to take part in Arts Night last night. The event was a great success, and I think all the children had a great time showing off their artistic talents!
The students started off their day today by working our IB unit of inquiry. In today's class the students all showed their Reflection skills, as they took a look back through the school year and reflected on important learning and events that have happened. We then turned these reflections into the 'student comment' section of the report cards that will be distributed next Friday. During language today we had a lesson regarding proper sentences, and what it takes to be a proper sentence. The students also completed their cursive books today which was a big event! All the children are bringing home their completed cursive books with them tonight. These books can now stay at home as they have all been successfully completed. In math today the students worked on word problems, counting money, telling time and sums and differences. They also went to French and P.E class today (since we missed P.E yesterday).
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and finish math worksheet if necessary.

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
