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 Wednesday, January 25th.   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. Please know that the teacher that is assigned for your child does not mean this will be your child's classroom teacher next year. Our class will be going to Ms. Ramnarine's for the day to get an idea of what a day in Grade 5 will be like! Re-registration forms are due on February 7th.

Tale on Prophet's Pond


Math: Today we started our new unit in multiplication. We learned a new term called "multiples". Students know that this new term means to skip count by a certain number. We began the unit with a 2 minute power multiplication sheet. I am very pleased with out results! Students have been practicing over the holidays and I am so pleased! Please continue to practice your multiplication. We will be having a multiplication quiz next Thursday Jan. 19th from multiples 1 to 3.
