Happy Halloween!!
Today has been a very
exciting day at St. Jude’s Academy! We had a lot of special activities that
took place. We also discussed some safety tips for trick-or-treating in our
class. Have a wonderful evening! Please also note that all homework is due next
Monday to accommodate this week’s festivities.
Assembly: We had a costume
competition this morning in the auditorium. We also had a guest appearance from
both Elsa and Moana. Congratulations to Doctor Shepherd (Zane) on being a
costume finalist!
Calendar: Today’s calendar was led by Ahaan. Great job Ahaan!
French: Please see Mlle. Jessica’s blog for more
information.
Show and Share: The students all had the
opportunity to share about the costume that they wore today. They also shared
their favourite Halloween treat with the class.
Phonics: Today students reviewed the “G/g” sound, actions,
and songs. Students completed a worksheet to practice identifying the “G/g”
sound in different words, and to practice their writing. Afterwards, students decoded a secret message before the pumpkin was completely carved.
Lunch/ Recess 1
Math: Students reviewed the pattern terminology that we
have been using such as the pattern core, attributes, and how to name patterns
using letters. Today, students recognized patterns in a Halloween Tic-Tac-Toe
Game. Thank you to Jack for bringing in this fun activity!
Unit of Inquiry: Today, we read a book called the Runaway
Pumpkin. This story was also a great example of the concept of Farm-to-Table.
Students also participated in a Halloween Mystery Bag Activity. Using just
their sense of touch, students had to identify what was in the Halloween
Mystery Bag.
Lunch/ Recess 2
Gym: Please see Mrs. Jan’s blog for more
information.
Halloween Dance: The students were in
constant motion, making it difficult to pause even for a photo! There was lots
of energy and enthusiasm at the Halloween Dance.
Pack Up
Have a wonderful evening
and enjoy trick-or-treating!!
