We had an eventful day enjoying the Mountsberg Conservation Area. The students that attended learned all about the process of producing maple syrup. It was a perfect opportunity to access prior knowledge we have gained throughout the Unit of Inquiry and from our Novel Study reading. Ask your child about our great trip today.
When we returned from our trip we had a chance to continue working on our summative. Feel free to collect research at home if you'd like.
Here are some pictures from today!
Homework: Read for 20 minutes and record in the reading log and Math review for test (which will be on March 7th).

St. Jude's Academy has recently acquired ownership of The Maples Academy. A letter about this has gone home in your child's backpack. The grade three class will be staying at school to have pioneer day and will not attend the trip to The Maples Academy on March 6th.
Math test for unit 7 test Thursday, March 6th, 2014.
Pioneer Day will be Thursday March 6th, 2014. A letter went home this past Thursday about the day held at SJA. All students are asked to dress in 'pioneer style' clothing and bring a lunch that would have been enjoyed during pioneer times (the clothing shouldn't have zippers or bright prints and the lunches should be wrapped in wax paper or a tea towel).
Registration has now been opened up to the public. If you have not yet returned your re-registration package for next year please do that quickly so that your child doesn't miss a spot!
St. Jude’s is starting their very first Soccer Club. Try outs are the third week of March. The team will be made up of students 10 and under.
Hot lunch order forms for April are due Mach 7th.
March Break runs from March 10th - 21st.
We are excited to announce the commencement of our recorder program as part of the SJA Arts Curriculum for grades 1 through 6. Recorders will be used as a means to explore, practice and showcase the musicality of the students at St. Jude’s. The recorder program will begin in Term 3, and will be a large part of the Term 3 Art assessments.
Students may choose to bring in their own recorders from home if they are already in possession of the instrument in the soprano range. Families also have the option of buying a recorder directly from St. Jude’s for $10.00. These recorders will become the possession of the student to be used throughout Term 3 and will be taken home with them to keep at the end of the program.
We look forward to the enjoyment and education that is sure to follow this exciting musical program!
