We will be starting a new unit of inquiry, under the theme, how the world works. The unit is called, "Make Things Go!" This is sure to be a fun unit. Please stay posted.

Phonics

This week we will be reviewing blends that we have already learned. Look for a new class book, "The Blob". We will also be learning "ar" in star and "ch" in church.

We will be using

play dough

in our upcoming math unit. I am looking for several parents to make play dough. If you are able to help, please follow the recipe below. Kindly send the play dough to school with your child next week.

Play Dough

1 cup flour

1 cup warm water

2 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp oil

1/4 cup salt

food colouring

Mix all ingredients, adding food colouring last. Stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from pan and knead until blended smooth. Place in a resealable plastic bag when cooled.

Many students took their running shoes home over March Break. Please remember to return your child's running shoes. Your child needs a pair on indoor running shoes for phys. ed. These shoes cannot be worn outside. If you have any questions, please email me at kwheeler@stjudesacademy.com.

Thanks!

House Games

What a week!

We've had

great fun

celebrating

St. Patrick's Day

all this week
with house games,

quizzes

and Green Day.

Green Jell-o Slurping Contest

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day,

we had fun slurping green Jell-o.

Congratulations to

Malcolm, Upper School Champ,

Cadance, Lower School Champ and

Carter who was the first runner-up.

Great slurping guys!

Leprechauns

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, we are reading The Night Before St. Patrick's Day all this week. This book has really captured the student's imagination. Today, several students spent time building leprechaun traps. We will be checking our traps each morning to see if a leprechaun has been trapped!

Rhyming fun!

I thought you might have fun playing this game at home.
