Good morning!

Ms. Chin's grade 5 and 6 class have been working so very hard over the last few weeks in preparation for their Exhibition that is taking place next week.  The Exhibition is the cumulative task of the PYP program that allows the grade 6 students to present the learning that they have done within the PYP program.  This year Ms. Chin's class has decided to do their investigation under the theme 'Sharing the Planet' and a great deal of information and action has taken place as a result!  Topics such as homelessness, racism and poverty are being explored at an in depth level, and the students are creating their own plans of action to bring some positive changes to the issue they have chosen to thoroughly investigate.  These projects are a great way for the students to display the knowledge and understanding they have not only of these specific topics, but world issues in general due to their efforts within the PYP program.  I truly believe you are out to be impressed!

The students will be presenting their projects at two different times- Wednesday at 12:30pm, as well as later that evening at 6pm. Parents have the option to attend one or both showings depending on their availability.  This is a great event not only for parents that have a child who is presenting, but also for any parent of a SJA child to see the exciting end to the PYP program that every SJA student will eventually embark on.  Please RSVP back to me at cnelson@stjudesacademy.com to let me know which session you are interested in attending.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
