Area of a Rectangle

November Thinker Awards and Actions Stars






Language

Learning goal: Students will learn about adding 'ed, er, and -ing to words (Spelling lesson 13).

Students ready the story and the TIP from the lesson activity. We looked at examples in the story and discussed the rules. Students wrote their spelling words in their agenda and will be completing lesson activities for homework.

Homework: Spelling lesson 13 due tomorrow.

For the rest of the period, students continued preparing for their student led-conferences by filling in the package of information that will be presented to parents at the conference.

Math

Learning goal: Students will calculate the area of a rectangle.

Students looked at examples in the textbook on pg. 331 and 332 on how to calculate the area of a rectangle. Students worked on pg. 333 questions 1, 2, and 5 in the textbook.

Area= Length x Width
Area= 12 x 6 = 72
Area= 72 cm squared

Homework: Math Sheet

UOI

Learning goal: Students will begin our new unit on Religion.

We finished one summative presentation today before moving onto the new unit. Students did a think-pair-share on what they know about religion and created a title page for their duotang.

Students were reminded that we are learning about different religions, not discussing what is right or wrong. Just as if we were learning about different cultures, we need to respect each one and be open to learning about different religions-- whether we may be for or against it.

Homework due on Wednesday: Religion title page

Good evening parents and guardians. 

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
