Dear parents and students!

Today was a day full of fun!
We started off the day with a fun Earth Day inspired house game about properly sorting recycling and garbage!

Then we started our UOI summative. For this summative we have combined both classes and they were super excited about it! In their groups, students are responsible for creating their own country and all the important aspects of it (name, flag, motto, government, constitution, services, etc.) It was great to see the students be so engaged! At the end of the summative students will be presenting their country and the potential citizens (students and parents) will have a vote! Please keep May 3rd in mind, we hope to have parents attend!

Next we had our DANCE PARTY!!! Students had so much fun and were really grooving!

We then ended off our day by helping our reading buddies pack up for home!

NOTES:

SPRING FUNDRAISER!!!!! Our annual Spring Fundraiser is HERE. This year our Spring Fundraiser will run from Monday, April 16 to Friday, April 20. We are hoping to raise $12,000. All of the funds raised this year will go towards improving technology for our classrooms, such as tables, TVs, 3-D printers, and reading stations. Each day that week, we will host a different activity. Our Popcorn Day will take place next Monday, April 23. For students who collect a minimum of $35, they will get to enjoy a morning or afternoon at Kidsport. Please use the pledge sheet provided and be sure to turn in on a daily basis!

Notes from the Grade 6 exhibition. 

Dear parents/ guardians,

We are Grade 6 students doing a project called exhibition. Our topic is child neglect. For our action we chose to do a clothing donation for the children that may have experienced neglect in our community. We will be donating all of the gently used clothing to the CAS and local charities. If you would like to donate any gently used clothing please place them in the box labeled Clothing Donations for the CAS and Surrounding charities. It can be found by the SJA back door where you come into the school in the morning. The last day to make a donation is Wednesday, April 26.

Sincerely,

Alexis, Alex and Wael (Grade 6)
