Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! Ours was spent up north celebrating a dear friends wedding.

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

We are very excited to have Maranda Bacchus (Ms. B) join us every Monday-Wednesday from now until April. She comes from Sheridan College and is taking the Child and Youth Care Program. She will have the opportunity to work with students, help create activities, help assess students, and give extra support wherever needed. She will also be assisting with after care, so don’t be shy!!

SJS WELCOME BACK BBQ will take place on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 from 4:00 – 7:00 PM. Order forms are due back with money tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15!

Just a reminder to send your children to school in their gym uniform. They will change into their school day uniform after gym. They also need to have outdoor shoes, black shoes, and gym shoes. Black shoes and gym shoes can stay overnight. All school bags can be put on their hooks upon arrival at SJA, so the gym does not get overcrowded with school bags. Also if you could have your children put their agendas in the agenda box inside the classroom it would help speed things up!

The gym door is to be used before school and after school. After 8:50 that door will be locked and you will have to enter through the front of the building. The ‘kiss and ride’ program is in full swing. It’s a great way to pick up your children and saves you from having to park and come into the school! Please see email as we have changed how ‘kiss and ride’ will work!

Math
Today we began with an introduction into our first unit, Number Patterns. We began by using calendars to find and create number patterns. Then we began creating our title pages.

Language
This period was used to complete our first spelling activities. Students wrote the words in their agenda and then completed the corresponding activities. If students finished early they read independently.

U.O.I. (Unit of Inquiry)
Today was our first lesson in our Please and Thank You unit. We discussed friendship and how to be a good friend. 

Have a wonderful evening!

Mrs. Hocevar J
