Good afternoon,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

SJA will be holding a PD Day camp on Friday, October 9, as it is our first PD day. Forms were sent home earlier this week. It is a first come first serve, so if you are interested please complete the form and hand it along with your money! The cost is $45.00.

The Terry Fox run will take place on Wednesday, September 30. I have sent home a donation form, which will be due by Tuesday, September 29. Any amount of donation would be greatly appreciated!! One of our classmates has already brought in $70.00. Let’s see how much more we can collect. It will also be casual day so please dress accordingly as they will be running outdoors!

The Maples Academy is holding their Fall Fair and Craft Sale on Saturday, October 3 from 10:00-4:00. It will be lots of fun so please feel free to join in!

I have introduced ‘Class Dojo’ as a form of behavior management. Each student will get a point for good behavior or lose a point for bad behavior. At the end of the month the person with the most points will receive a reward. You as parents will have access to your child’s Dojo to see how they have been behaving at school. I have sent home a letter with further instructions.  If you have not connected please do so! Any questions please let me know and I will do my best to answer them. Please continue to sign agendas and check the blog.

Math

Today was our first unit test. I will mark them as soon as I can and send them home for a signature. Tomorrow we begin unit 2 ‘Whole Numbers.’

Language

Today was our spelling activity day. We wrote our words in our agenda and then completed the corresponding activities. We organized our language duo tangs and read a chapter of Goosebumps!

U.O.I. (Unit of Inquiry)

Today we began looking at table manners. We discussed how to eat at home, at a restaurant, and while at someone else’s house!

Have a wonderful night!
