Day 1

Good afternoon SJA families 

 We started our day with reading buddies ... 




 Math: 


Today in Math we continued practicing multiplying decimals and dividing decimals. Students had a chance to explore the math problems together and come up to answer questions on the white board. Students have expressed the interest in showing the decimals using the base ten blocks.  
Math questions have been assigned on page 145 #1,2,3 and page 62+63 also a practice worksheet has been given for practice. 
Inquiry into Language:


The majority of the class completed their good copy of their speech over this week. Today, they spent part of their morning practicing so that they could memorize their speech. We went over a few helpful tips to remember when trying to memorize their speech. Students have been sent home with speeches so that they can have them memorized for Wednesday.

The grade 4 in class competition will be held February 4th/5th.

The Annual Oral Competition for grades 4 - 8 will be held on Friday, February 7th. All speeches need to be memorized and should be within 3 - 5 minutes. 


Unit Of Inquiry:

Today the class began working on their summatives for their unit: Who we are. Students were given their summative packages as a point of reference as they work their way through their assignment. Just a friendly reminder that all summative materials are to be provided by the students. Summative tasks will be NOW DUE ON Tuesday February 4.

Covid -19 Updates  Hello and Good Morning Everyone, As you are now aware, St. Jude’s Academy will be closed for the next two weeks due to COVID-19.
