Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed your weekend! Now that the cold weather is here, please ensure that your children come prepared…coats, hats, mitts, boots, and anything else that will keep them warm.

Cookie dough to be picked up today from 3:30-6 in the cafeteria. You can access it through the reception area!

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

Some MYP students have decided to raise money for a child in Africa to go to school. They will be holding some fundraising events this week. For $2.00 students can wear casual clothes on Wednesday December 9, Candy Grams will be sold, as well as students will have an opportunity to decorate a Gingerbread. Order forms will have more information.

Oakwood will be hosting their Bake Sale on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. If you would like your child to purchase something, please send them with a small amount of money!

There will be two shows for the Christmas concert this year. They will both take place on Wednesday, December 16. The first show will take place in the afternoon from 1:30-3:00 PM and the evening show will take place from 6:30-8:30 PM! Please see flyer below!


SJA is excited to announce that Year Ahead Day is happening again this year!  All SJA PYP students will be participating in this exciting event on Thursday, December 10th.   Year Ahead Day is a fun and interactive day for the students at SJA to spend a day in the class of the grade level ahead of them (example: SK students spend their day as Grade 1 students, Grade 6 students spend their day as Grade 7 students, etc.).  This is a great way for the students at SJA to get a glimpse into their future life at SJA!  Students can get to know the teachers, see their future classroom, and take part in activities they will be participating in next year.

After care payments due by Monday, December 14!

January lunch forms are due by Wednesday, December 16 by 3:30 PM!

A note from Parent Guild: We held our holiday fundraising presentation yesterday morning and are pleased to hand out prizes for the top sellers.  Good job everyone!

Thank you for your support!

MATH
Today we spent our lesson learning about related facts. This is a strategy to help us solve division questions. Here is an example of a related fact – 3x4=12, 4x3=12, 12/3=4, and 12/4=3. There should be 2 multiplication sentences and 2 division sentences. All of the same numbers are used in each sentence.

LANGUAGE
Today we did a Christmas craft and worked on our concert pieces!

UOI
Today we began our 3rd unit…Phenomenal Forces! This is a science unit that should take us until the end of January! We began by creating a KWL chart (what we know, what we want to know, and what we learned). We also completed our title pages.

I hope you all have a great night!

Mrs. Hocevar J
