Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone had a lovely night!

Our Lost and Found bins are over flowing! When you have a moment, please sort through the Lost & Found items (they are on a table by the gym) and take what belongs to your child(ren). At end of day Monday, May 29th, items except for uniform pieces, will be donated to a local charity.

Important information and reminders:

The Maples Academy is hosting our annual inner school Track and Field meet tomorrow, Friday, May 26.

Mr. MacDonald is asking that those students be at the school by 7:45 AM to head up to TMA. They should be back around 3:00 PM. Students are asked to wear their SJA gym uniform, proper running shoes, a hat, and to bring lots of water, sunscreen and a disposable lunch. Please note that hot lunch will not be provided.

We will also be selling treats and baked goods, so get ready for what is sure to be a wonderful evening. A reminder that all students are expected to participate.

Language

Today we spent time writing in our journals about what we are doing this summer or what we want to do this summer!

Homework – Read for at least 30 minutes

Math

Today we began our final math unit - Probability. We found out that possibility is how possible or impossible that something will happen. When describing probability we use certain words such as likely (it will likely be sunny tomorrow), impossible (it is impossible for to pick a purple marble out of a bag if there are only green, red and blue marbles in the bag), certain (it is certain that Friday comes after Thursday) and unlikely (it is unlikely you will live to be 100 years old).

Student examples!

Homework – MMS pg 180-181

UOI

Today we continued practicing our Michael Jackson mash up for our Art’s Night! For our outfits we are going to keep it simple – black shirt, jeans, white socks, black shoes, and a Fedora hat! We would love a white glove as well!!

Our final UOI summative is beginning! Students are required to create a book of poetry or research a type of dance. All work is to be done in class and will be due next Friday, June 2. Please ensure you have a device or you bring in your research if needed.
