Day 5

Happy Wacky Thursday!! Thank you to everyone who participated and came in today wearing wacky outfits, had wacky hair and even wacky face paint. 

Today we had a very special visitor in our class! Ms Hayward was here! She brought chrome books and presented to us about the importance of Orange Shirt Day coming up on  Monday. Today we got to learn all about the residential schools in Canada and the indigenous communities that suffered most from residential schools. Together as a class we did some research that included discovering how many people were affected by these schools, how many people died and when the last school was closed. The grade 4's have been chosen to do a small presentation at the morning announcements on Monday. We have started our preparation and have started writing down on orange letters some of the most important facts we want to share with the school. 

In UOI we continued to work on our pizza boxes composing the physical regions of Canada and building a 3D model of Canada using various materials. Students were given time to brush up on their knowledge of each region by browsing their notes of the physical regions and trying to better understand what the characteristics of each regions are. We used material like brown recycled paper, lentils, red beans, marshmallows, tinfoil and even small rocks to help us showcase the characteristics of each.

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. As we try to alleviate the spread of the virus, we understand that situations such as these can make things a little more unpredictable than we would like them to be. At St. Jude’s, we take pride in the fact that we are a close-knit and caring community. In response to COVID-19 we are actively working to ensure the health and safety of everyone while continuing to educate and support our students. We want to ensure that our students will not be impacted by the unfolding events. We will continue to provide education to our students via an online classroom set up after March Break and up until April 5, 2020. Our school building is closed, but education will continue in an online format.   The grade 4 team will post our daily blogs by 9 am.

Good afternoon SJA parents Today the grade 4s began their Data Management Assignment. They conducted a survey about the religious demographic of students and teachers in grades 1-5. For this assignment, the grade 4s are being challenged to collect data, create graphs, and interpret their findings using concepts and terminology learned throughout the unit. This is a two day assignment, so the grade 4s will have the opportunity to complete their assignment tomorrow.  Today in language   the grade 4s will continued to work on their speeches.
