Good evening parents and students!

TOMORROW IS CASUAL DAY!
We are also saying a sad goodbye to our teaching assistant Miss Victoria. She has been an amazing help in the class. tomorrow we will have a small farewell party at the end of the day with fun games!

As a reminder for students who gave money for the Kid Sports trip: We will be attending the trip Thursday April 26th from 9-12. Students are expected to wear their gym uniforms if going on the trip.

UOI:Government
This morning students worked hard on their Build Your Own Country summative. I sat with almost every group and had a discussion about the type of government they chose for their new country. I want to see lots of detail from groups as it was something I noticed lacking from every group. I am stressing to students that they will be presenting about their country and trying to convection people to vote them into power. They should be all-knowing about their country and ready to answer any question! 

Math:
Today we looked at Tiling Patterns and also managed to look at Graphing Patterns. Students quickly realized that these lessons were review of some things we learned over the last two units! It is lovely to see students using their knowledge from past classes :) If students are finding tonight's homework tricky they are welcome to look to the past units we have learned!
I was also super impressed by Saanvi who was able to complete the challenge I set out last night! She was able to recite the first 25 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence! Bravo!

Language:
Tomorrow we will continue with our DRAs.

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)
