March Break Camp registration forms were sent home back in October. We have had many students sign up since then and especially the last few days. If you are interested in registering your chid for our amazing March Break camp, please send in the completed  registration form, along with the $20 one-time non-refundable deposit in order to secure your child's spot (this could be paid in cash or through fresh books). This year there are two options to chose from the first being lunch and two snacks provided or the second being send your own packed lunch and a discounted camp rate! We also have daily rates available. Please contact Ms. Smith bsmith@stjudesacademy.com for more details. 

Today's agenda notes

-$1-$2 for Sick Kids (Grocery store)

-Spelling pg. 66-68 and detailed sentences
-Cursive  up to pg. 63
-Math worksheet (elapsed time)

After agendas we worked on our speeches brainstorm. Please ensure your child brings their sheet back to class to work on.

After, we went to PE with Ms. Yustin.

Today for math we learned about elapsed time which is how long an event lasts. We recognised the importance of counting by 5's to find our elapsed time,

We started off looking at a party invitation and planning the events for the party.

The party started at 1:15 and goes till 4:00 so we had to choose 4 games to do while at this party.

We discussed that every game needs a start and end time.

We did the first activity together and modelled how to use a clock to help us count.

What we did is,
Put the time 1:15pm on an analog clock and wrote this in the start time column
Decided we wanted the activity to be 20 minutes (wrote this time in the elapsed time column)
Then we counted by 5's until we got to 20 minutes and noted the time. It was 1:35pm and then wrote this in the end time column.

The end time for this activity then becomes the start time for the next activity.





After we went to lunch and recess.

After recess we worked on our speeches. I am going over what students have done thus far and giving feedback. Please ensure that they bring their work back to class!


After we went to Music and French.

Then we had second lunch and recess.

When we returned we worked on our speeches again.

After we had UOI in which we had circle time to discuss traditions and holidays. We repeated the mind map activities we did for Ramadan, New Years, Kwanzaa, Hanukah, and Christmas but this time we have learned so much more!

Students then presented their mind maps to the class.





Then we got ready for home.
