In today's class the students started off the day working on language. Students had a review about the use of advertisements and the important elements needed to be included in a good advertisement. Students had a chance to create their own advertisements. During language the students also worked on sentence writing in their Language books.
During the Unit of Inquiry time today the students explored a webquest where they focused on forces in nature, and how humans sometimes have to protect themselves from deadly forces. The students focused on landslides, erosion, lightening, etc. The students had a great deal of fun with this activity! They also had a chance to complete a reflection activity after the Webquest was completed. Please note, the forces unit test that will be taking place tomorrow. Every student brought home a unit review sheet with them last night. I ask that this sheet be used to study and review for the unit test tomorrow
During mathematics today the students continued with their data management unit. In today's class the students worked on interpreting and creating bar graphs. The students focused on interpreting tally marks used from surveys that have been conducted, and then using the tally marks to create their own bar graphs.
Students also went to PE, Art and French classes.
Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log, practice weekly spelling words, math pages 106-107, Abeka pages 53 - 54, Language pages 87 - 88, and study for the forces unit test taking place tomorrow.
Important information: The forces unit test will be taking place on Wednesday, January 15th. Each child has a review sheet they have brought home with them last night to study in preparation for the unit test. Please keep an eye out for the test review sheet!
All students brought home a Highlights Magazine order form with them last week. If you are interested in subscribing to the magazine, please send in your completed form by Friday.
February lunch forms have gone home with all students tonight. Order forms and payment if you would like to order your child hot lunches for February are due by January 23rd!
The accounting systems have changed since the school returned in the new year. Parents are now requested to ensure that when paying for school related items (hot lunches, after school care charges, field trips, extra programs, etc.) that cheques are drawn for each individual item and not combined into one total cheque. This is to help us ensure that all orders are properly processed, and that every child is taken care of. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The next P.D Day at St. Jude's is on January 24th. There will be no school for students on this day.
