How to write a recount

Language

Learning goal: Students will learn how to write a re-count (OWA).

Students were introduced to what a recount is: A recount is a retelling or sequence of events that happened to the writer or speaker.We looked at a student example of a re-count to help students identify the different parts that are important in the writing. They also received a text organizer to practice writing their own recount for tomorrow.

Math

Learning goal: Students will read and interpret data in tables and graphs.

We looked at examples on pg. 156 and 157 in the textbook and students worked on pg. 158 questions 1, 2, and 3.

Homework: Math sheet

UOI

Students continued their research from yesterday and presented their findings to the class of the symbols and festivals related to Judaism.

The St. Jude's community places a lot of emphasis on giving and conducting acts of charity. In light of the Christmas season which is fast approaching, we are happy to announce that we collaborating with Peel Regional Police for their 'Toys for Tots' charity. We will be conducting a toy drive from December 7th to December 21st. Members of the St. Jude's community may donate new, unwrapped toys, cash or Canadian Tire money to make an underprivileged child's Christmas one to remember. All proceeds will be handed over directly to Peel Regional Police on December 21st. We are also pleased to announce the Toys for Tots charity is the first major project our Student Council will be conducting this academic year. 

Toys can be donated at the front desk by placing them under the Christmas tree. There will be a tracking sheet provided to record the student who donated. Upon collecting the toys, a police officer will allow one lucky student to pie him/her in the face. As such, it is important to record the names of each student to give everyone a chance. Alternatively, toys may be handed to class teachers. To educate our PYP students about the importance of giving, house points will be awarded for each toy donated.

We look forward to your donations, all of which will be greatly appreciated. 
Tis the season for joy, happiness, love, and sharing. Have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

Student Council
