Calendar

To see the general St. Jude's 2008-2009 calendar, go to: http://www.stjudesacademy.com/calendar.pdf

St. Jude's is a nut-free zone!

When purchasing items for your child's lunch, please read the packages carefully. If the label says, "may contain nuts", please refrain from sending that item. Look for products with the nut-free label. Hot lunches begin on September 8. For more information, click on the following link: http://www.stjudesacademy.com/menu.html

The Knight's Secret Surprise!

What is the Knight of the Day?
The Knight of the Day is the special person and helper for the day. Each student in the JK/SK class will have a turn. Check the calendar posted on the blog to find out when your child is the Knight of the Day.

When it is your child’s turn to be the Knight of the Day, he or she is to bring in something from home to show the class – the Knight’s Secret Surprise. The Knight of the Day will give the class three clues as to what is in the bag and the rest of the class must guess the Knight’s Secret Surprise. For example:

It’s something that starts with the letter D
I sleep with it at night
It’s brown
Answer: My stuffed dog!

Things to keep in mind:
· The item must fit in the bag provided (no part should stick out as it will ruin the surprise)
· Each student will give the class three clues as to what is in the bag
· You may help your child come up with three clues, or it may been done independently
· The clues don’t need to be written down
· Please don’t send in anything of great value

Welcome!

In our efforts to go green, each St. Jude’s class will have its own blog to communicate class news and events. Please check the blog regularly as I will also be posting homework on the blog.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on September 2nd.

Mrs. Wheeler
