You Will Be In My Heart

Poem

It's Grandparents' Day and we're here to say,
"We love our Grandparents in a major way."

So sit right down and take a seat,
And we'll put on a show that can't be beat!

Some Grandparents are skinny. Some eat a lot.
Some are funny. Some are not.

Some short, some tall, some big, some small.
It doesn't matter. We love them all.

Reptile Show

Please remember to send in permission form and money by Friday, May 14.
Thank you

JKB Language Arts

We have been working on our Journals everyday.
It's very exciting to see the progress of your child.
Little by little they put the letters together and try to make the sound of the word. Most of the time (at this stage) they can't spell the word exactly, but they are certainly on the right track when they sound out letter by letter.
Enjoy some of their work:

By Malachi Garraway

Naming Coins

Identifying pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Motherhood is a tough 24 hour job. There is no pay, and no day off. Sometimes motherhood is unappreciated, but yet resignation is impossible. Even though motherhood is a full time job, a mother's work is never done. A mother is a woman who was created by God to bring love, joy, happiness and caring into his world.
Happy Mother's Day.

Uniform

We still have 5 more weeks of school.
Please make sure your child comes in proper St. Jude's uniform.
Thank you,

Progress Report

Please find Progress Report Term 3 in your child's friday envelop.
Thanks

We have a new friend

Welcome to St. Jude's Academy Jayden!

FYI

Dear Parents,
Please do not be alarmed if your child went home on Monday talking about head lice.
We had an isolated case in our school and it has been treated already.
As we are studying bugs for science I thought this incident was a very good opportunity to lecture to the students.

The students have learned that sharing hats, hairbrush or hair ornaments it is not a good idea.

If you want more information about head lice visit:

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns,
Mrs. Padovan
