Good evening parents and students, 

Today the students had a great time celebrating Miss Victoria as it was her last day with us. She will be dearly missed!

 

Tomorrow is the Kids Sports Trip (9am-12noon) for those who brought in the form and money during our Spring Fundraiser. Those attending are to be dressed in gym uniform for the trip and have proper athletic shoes. 

Students have also begun practicing for the Spelling Bee during recess! There is a lot of excitement for this competition, which is great to see! Here they are during recess trying out their spelling words for this weeks lesson with the proper spelling bee format.

Students also had a presentation from the Grade 6's for their exhibition. Both grade 5 classes were combined and students were very engaged!

UOI:Government
This morning students once again were in their groups for Build Your Own Country. Students have really gotten into the swing of things and are making great progress. I continue to encourage students to add detail as they should be able to answer any questions someone might have about the country they are trying to create. Students are encouraged to bring in their devices so they can being working on their powerpoints/slide presentation. 


Language:
We continued with our DRA's today and hope to have them done this week. 

Math:
Today we went over Representing Patterns and looked specifically at growing patterns. Students impressed me with how much they remembered about growing patterns and how to create rules for these patterns.

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)
