In the afternoon, JKs had Gym class with Mrs. Haag's Class. Students in Gr. 3/4 are showing their actions by teaching the JKs some good exercise routine and how to stay healthy and strong!

Happy Thursday!

We had a great day! Although everyone was a bit tired today, we still managed to complete a lot of fun activities.

In the morning we had snacks and calendar routine. Next in Language Arts we spent some time practicing the spelling bee words. Please, practice more with your child at home, as we are having the in class competition tomorrow morning. After practicing the words we completed an activity where students had to cut and glue to match the beginning sounds. Our next activity students had to say the name of the picture, find the word and the n write it down under the picture.

In Math we reviewed patterns and students completed an activity where they had to cut and complete each pattern by gluing the correct picture.

To finish off the day we practiced a lit bit more of the spelling bee words and had centers in the classroom.

Have a great evening everyone!

Arts Night!

Thank you all parents who came to watch our performance!

Next we practiced for Arts Night, everyone did a really good job!
Students then helped to organize their IB binders. The IB binder will remain at the school throughout the students time at St. Jude's. Teachers from each grade will add their work into four tabs: "My best work", "Something I work my hardest on it", "A way I showed a learner profile" and "Something I have to improve on".
In the afternoon students worked on numeracy skills by counting and writing the correct number.
They also attended Gym and French classes.
I'll see you this evening!
