Day 61

Hello,

Here is what we did today!

Calendar: Today our routine was completed by Jordan.
Phonics: Today we continued talking about long Ii. We made a long list of different words that have that sound in it and spelled them together. Next we did a worksheet where they had to circle the long Ii word that matched the picture.
Journal: Today we wrote "3 words that have the long Ii sound are..."
Math: Today we did the pre-assessment for addition. This is going to be our new unit.

Lunch/Recess

Unit of inquiry: Today we talked about the four seasons, fall in particular. They told me that in fall the leaves fall and they change colours. As we are talking about fall, we made our own rip art fall tree. They look great!

French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information.

Christmas concert: Things are starting to come together!

Have a great night!

Here is a message from the MYP students:

Hello Parents,

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!

Year Ahead day

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.

ACTION

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process. In the PYP Program, students will engage in 6 Unit of Inquiries (UOI) throughout the school year, with each unit being approximately 6 weeks long. During each UOI, 3 students from the class will be assigned as the “Action Stars”, which means that they are encouraged to use what has been learned and apply it to the “real world.” The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled. Students who are not assigned this role for the current UOI being taught are still encouraged to show ACTION! Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size! Please check out our Action board in our classroom to see all our fabulous learners.
