Day 5

Good afternoon SJA parents! 


Today we had a new Star of the Week!! Congratulations Justin !!!




Today in language  the grade 4s continued to work on their speeches. Most students have now finished the rough draft and are not working on good copy writing. 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, build up to it, make it exciting/interesting
- formatting - in order to meet the time requirement (3-5 mins) consider the length of each paragraph 

The grade 4s are encouraged to visit their local library to collect books, videos, etc. that will help them to continue to develop their speech. Please ensure that your child brings any research materials in order to continue working on their speech. 
We continued working onspelling lesson 17 today and we also worked on grammar lesson 7
Grade 4: Words ending with y: adding er and est 
Grade 5: prefixes sub, mid,bi, and tri 
Tip: adjectives ending in er compare two things, adjectives ending in est compare three or more things 

To add er or est to an adjective that ends in y, change the y to I first 

Ex. Happy + er = happiest  
Happy + est = happiest  
Tip: sub – usually means under, below, or not quite  
Mid – means in the middle or part 
Bi – usually means two 
Tri – usually mean three  

Ex. Subside, midday, bisect, tripod 



Today the grade 4s continued our study of Islam. Today we made notes on Origins of Islam and also did an activity about Ramada. Check us out below.

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
