Dear Parents and Students,
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

TOMORROW is our trip to Cedar Glen YMCA. Students are expected to arrive at school no later than 7:45am. Students need to prepare for the weather (gym uniform, hat, sunscreen, light jacket/sweater, water bottle, snack).  We will arrive back at the school at 4:00pm, after this time students will be sent to aftercare.
It will be an exited day!!!

DANCE/ MYP Shakespeare Play:
On Thursday, May 10^th, we would like to invite to our SJA parents and guardians to attend our upper school theatre performance of Romeo and Juliet being hosted at the University of Toronto Mississauga MiST Theatre ( 3359 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga, ON L5L 1C6) for FREE! The performance will begin at 6:30pm. For your enjoyment, SJA PYP teachers will be hosting a FREE SJA dance in the SJA auditorium for your children, so you can sit back and relax. The dance drop off will begin at 6:00pm.

To reserve your tickets for the dance and the theatre performance, please e-mail Kaitlin at reception@stjudesacademy.com. Limited tickets are available and are available on a first-come first-served basis. 

 

 The Grade 5 students have the amazing opportunity to watch this play on Wednesday May 9th. 

***Spelling Bee: The grade 5 in-class spelling bee will be Thursday May 10th. The Grade 6 spelling bee will be on Monday May 14th. Hope you are practicing at home!!***


Math:
Today students completed their quiz for this past unit. They also completed a per-assessment for our next unit on Measurement.

UOI:Coding
Today we began our new unit on CODING!!

Students completed a KWL chart today, so that I can see what they already know and want to know. We then watched two videos:

The second video is really interesting and motivating! I could tell students were excited to learn!
We then spent around 10 mins trying out different coding games on https://code.org/learn
Students are welcome to continue to explore this website and the games it has.
