Day 2!

Good afternoon SJA Families ! 


Today in Math we began our new unit in math ! Geometry ! The grade 4's were very excited to start this new unit and today our lesson was about exploring how to name and sort polygons. A polygon is a closed figure with 3 or more straight sides. We also explored vertex and naming polygons by their vertex. We reviewed what an Isosceles, scalene and equilateral triangle is and even had a chance to come up to the white board and practice some naming of triangles. Homework has been assigned on page 82 of the textbook #2,3,4 and workbook page 36-37. 




In Language today we worked on our spelling lesson 20 and also on the new grammar lesson. In grammar we looked at what common nouns are and also what proper nouns are. See the examples below. Grammar and spelling are due tomorrow and Thursday will be our spelling test.

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.

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.

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.
