Good afternoon!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I heard some very nice Mother’s Day stories, so I hope you all enjoyed your day!

If you are looking to order specific uniform items well now is the time. Some of the money raised from uniform sales will go towards efforts to help the victims of the Nepal earthquake. 

Due to the gym lockers being used for storage, we have decided that the students will be allowed to wear their gym uniforms on Mondays and Wednesdays only.

The Spelling Bee lists have been sent home. Please ensure your child begins practicing and that the list stays in their agendas. There is one set of words for the grade 3’s and one set for the grade 4’s. We will be choosing our top 5 from each grade (both grade 3 classes combined) the last week of May. The top 5 from each grade will participate in the St. Jude’s Academy annual Spelling Bee on Friday June 5, beginning at 9:00 am. Please note that there will be different word on June 5. The list sent home is just to help them practice.

A few important reminders/important dates

Just a reminder that students are now able to wear their summer uniform!

Please be sure to send your child with baseball hats or sun hats and sunscreen! Also please be sure to send in water bottles…with all the running around they do they get very hot and thirsty!

We are once again out of Kleenex and Lysol Wipes. If you could please bring some in that would be great!

Due to the Stratford trip and half of our class gone and other classes joining us it was another mixed up day. We were able to get in Math today in which the grade 4 learnt about relating units of measurement and the 3’s learnt about measuring perimeter in centimetres. We will be having our unit test on Tuesday May 19 once we return from our long weekend. A review will be sent home Thursday May 14. These are short units, so I apologize if the tests seem to happen quickly! We got caught up on some work, practiced for Art’s Night and did some DRA (Development Reading Assessments).

I hope you all have a wonderful night!
