Happy Halloween!
We started our day with reading buddies! Everyone was dressed so nicely for Halloween and Harvest Season!
Inquiry into Ancient Civilizations – Today, we read a few Greek myths (the story of Arachne, and the story of Medusa). We related them back to our reading on Percy Jackson. Then, we did an art activity where we drew ten of the twelve members of the Olympian council, and learned a little bit more about what they are responsible for!
French - Then, we had French with Mme. Rawan, which you can read about on her blog (https://mmerawansja.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Language – We read chapter twenty-one of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. This was the second last chapter, so we’re almost done.
At the end of the day, we packed up and went for our costume competition and house game. Kappa won one round, and Zeta won the other two! Woohoo!
For homework:
All homework for the day is placed here, but time may have been given in class to complete this work.
A couple of quick reminders:
· Students need to wear their winter uniform, so ALL 7 pieces. We had a few uniform slip-ups last week; this week and ongoing, the expectation is full winter uniform every day.
o Black leather dress shoes
o Navy blue socks
o St. Jude’s grey pants or skirts
o St. Jude’s button up white shirt (long sleeve)
o St. Jude’s sweater vest
o Academic tie (Monday-Thursday) & House Colour Tie (Friday)
o St. Jude’s Blazer
· Forms were sent home last Wednesday for our curling trip on November 19th, and December 3rd. This trip was already paid in athletic fees, so the form only needs to be signed.
o Today, I have sent home a waiver form for curling which must also be signed.
· Today, forms were sent home for March Break camp – you will find them in agendas.
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
