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.

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

A NOTE FROM OUR MYP STUDENTS:

A NOTE FROM MYP: We are very excited to let you know that the MYP students will be taking an action to raise funds to send a boy named Brian to school. Our goal is $750, which includes Brian's board, books, food, and tuition. There are three ways you can help support Brian:

1) Donate $2 and participate in our casual day this Wednesday, December 9th. Forms have been sent home. 

2) Participate in our gingerbread decorating activity. Forms and fees have been sent home. 

3) Bring in loonies and toonies to fill up your child's house jar! The house that fills their jar first will receive a 20 000 house points! 

Thank you for your donations in advance! The MYP Students.

Oakwood will be hosting their Bake Sale tomorrow, 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! Students are expected to be a both performances (afternoon and evening).



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!

MATH
Today we began looking at division with remainders. Another tough concept so extra help at home would be great! Use the review at the beginning of the MMS practice book to help.

LANGUAGE
Today we wrote our pre-assessement for our second OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) and complete ‘The Big Bears’ chapter of our novel study! We also practiced our concert pieces!

UOI
Today we looked at what a force is. We used resources from our Science and Technology books to help us complete activities. We complete a chart, which was labeled ‘pushing’ and ‘pulling.’ We also wrote out questions and answers about forces.

I hope you all have a great night!
