St. Jude's Academy Cold Weather Policy
Below you will find the steps taken at St. Jude's Academy to ensure students stay safe and have fun during the winter months.
1 Reduce amount of time students spend outdoors when the temperature is –20 degrees Celsius or colder, with or without the wind chill. Students will stay indoors when the temperature is -20 degrees Celsius or colder, with or without wind chill.
2 Understand that some medical conditions may increase sensitivity to cold. Parents should consult their physician and provide a written notice if a child has a need to stay indoor.
3 Ensure students are dressed warmly, covering exposed skin: insulated boots, winter weight coats, mittens, hats, neck warmers.
4 Ensure students change wet clothing or footwear immediately.
5 Although these conditions are unlikely to occur during the school day, ensure that all staff are able to recognize and treat symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia. Given plenty of warm fluids to prevent dehydration.
6 When children are outside, be watchful for shivering or signs of numbness in faces, ears, hands or feet.
7 Educate children in dealing with cold weather: drinking plenty of fluids, dressing warmly, and recognizing signs of cold injury.

MATH
Today we looked at reading information from a Circle Graph. They did very well! The unit math test will begin Thursday, January 21 with an in class survey and construction of graphs and then the in class unit test will take place Monday, January 25.
LANUGAGE
Today was our reading buddies day. We also continued working on practicing how to write a recount. Tomorrow will be our term 2 OWA post-assessment. Upon reviewing their practice recount, I have no doubt that they will do just fine. I have started a reading logbook for the students. They are expected to read for at least 20 minutes everyday. They can record it in their reading log. Reading logs will be checked every Friday. The first one will be checked on Friday, January 15th.
UOI
Today we tried our experiment from yesterday. It had to do with changing the speed of a car. We also looked at ways we can change the speed of a moving object.
Have a great night!
