Hello Grade 5 Parents!
We have had an exciting week here
in at St. Jude’s and in grade 5.
Today was spirit day! We saw A LOT
of spirit for our houses.
We started our morning with a house
game; we ran a relay race. We had a great time! We ran two different races with
both Kappa & Zeta coming out on top. Congratulations to everyone who
participated – it was close!
After this we went right back to
class to work on our OWAs and DRAs. We even squeezed in a little bit of
classroom artwork.
After recess, lunch, and French, we
continued our DRAs and artwork for the remainder of the afternoon. I will be
looking at the DRAs and OWAs for those who have completed them this weekend. I
will reach out to parents individually sometime in the next few days to discuss
results and strategies for improvement where necessary.
On Monday, we will commence with
our regular schedule; Monday is a day 4. On day 4, we have gym first thing in
the morning, so everyone should come in their full gym uniform.
A couple of quick reminders:
- The last page of student handbook (given out on orientation night) needs to be signed and returned to me no later than next Friday, September 14th.
- If anyone in the class has to pick up their younger siblings from the cafeteria afterschool (JK – Grade 1) to bring them to the gym for dismissal, I need the permission form signed and returned to me as soon as possible.
- The permission form to bus to and from the city church and athletic centre must be signed and returned to me as soon as possible.
- Order forms for the Welcome BBQ were sent home on Wednesday. If you are attending, please fill out the form and return to me by no later than Friday, September 14th, 2018. This event is not only for parents or students, but for both.
- Mr. Beresford will be holding co-ed soccer tryouts next Thursday afterschool.
As always, please feel free to
reach out to me with any questions or concerns by email, and I will respond as
quickly as possible.
Mr. Conte
