Last day of class for 2019

Good Afternoon SJA Families! This is our last blog post for 2019! 
I want to thank you all for the support so far this year. I know grade 4 has been a bit of a jump and a big change from last year and the students have all worked very hard in 1st term and I am sure will continue to work just as hard in 2020! I appreciate all your hard work in this transition period into grade 4 and I know how lucky I am to have such wonderful parents helping out in room 14! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays as well as all the best in 2020! See you all in the new year... 


Today we had our spelling test this morning and we continued with reading with our reading buddies. We had a house game this morning and we also had a chance to play holiday hangman in french! 

The afternoon was filled with fun games in Ms Samule's class and we even had a visitor from Ms Hayward who read us the story of The Nutcracker! Check us out below playing Holiday Bingo and reading with Ms Hayward! 






At the end of the day we watched the movie "The Prince of Egypt" and made some great connections to our UOI Religions Unit. 

Homework 
Over the break, students have been assigned a math package to ensure that we are all still on task when we return in the new year. A review sheet with some important elements has been placed on the front of the package. 
Students have also gone home with a Holiday Journal that is expected to be completed and handed in the new year. Students have been asked to write in the journal everyday as a recount of what they did that day. 
A package is also being sent home about speeches. This package is for you to review with your child and returned signed in the new year. 

Have a safe ad happy holiday break! See you all in 2020!!

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. Our blogs will describe the learning expectations and activities for each day. To make this pos

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. Some students have begun their third paragraph (subtopic 2). Here are a few things that we considered during our conferencing period: - proper punctuation, sentence structure, and grammar - voice and style - develop a distinct tone the sets your writing/speech apart from others - defining unknown terms - help your audience develop their vocabulary  - descriptive language - don't give all the details away, bui
