Welcome to November!

Hello Everyone!

It's crazy to think that 2 months of school has flown by and December is right around the corner!

St. Jude’s Academy is excited to welcome back to our school the talented artists from ArtReach Mississauga to lead exciting art workshops for our students.  Students will have a chance to join the ArtReach professionals for a two hour workshop at SJA that focuses on engaging and comprehensive visual art activities. ArtReach will be joining SJA on November 30^th, December 1^st and December 2^nd. The cost of the workshop is $15.00.  This cost includes the workshop fee, and all materials.  Forms and fees are due back to the school by November 3^rd, 2016.

We will be celebrating Guy Fawkes Day on Friday November 4th. Please see a copy of the poem below, as students are asked to memorize it for Friday. 

The Fifth of November

    Remember, remember!

    The fifth of November,

    The Gunpowder treason and plot;

    I know of no reason

    Why the Gunpowder treason

    Should ever be forgot!

    Guy Fawkes and his companions

    Did the scheme contrive,

    To blow the King and Parliament

    All up alive.

    Threescore barrels, laid below,

    To prove old England's overthrow.

    But, by God's providence, him they catch,

    With a dark lantern, lighting a match!

    A stick and a stake

    Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!

    Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!

    Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

Scientist in the school permission form and money due Friday November 4th!

UOI:  In Light and Sound we saw that sound can be reflected and absorbed. We went outside to play a game, and we also watched a video on Echolocation. Students learned that sound travels, and when we hear our voices when we yell out it is because the sound is bouncing off the objects around us, and travelling back into our ear.

Math: Please start practicing capacity. We used out Math period to prepare for our OWA assessment tomorrow.

Spelling/ Language: Spelling lesson 8 is due Friday.  
Today we also practiced for our OWA tomorrow. Students put a report in order and we practiced paraphrasing paragraphs. I have sent home the reports we practiced writing today so students can prepare for the assessment tomorrow. My suggestion is that students find a topic and write a report at home that a parent can read. If the parent understands the report than the report has been done well.

Anne of Green Gables: No Anne of Green Gables today.

French- No spelling test on Friday
