Welcome!

I am excited to welcome you to my Senior Kindergarten class at St. Jude’s Academy! Teaching is an absolute passion of mine and I want to ensure that I provide meaningful experiences that will instill a love for learning in my students. This will be my second year teaching Kindergarten at SJA and I am very eager for the school year to begin. 

GRADUATION TOMORROW!!

Graduation is tomorrow! Please arrive on time to school! Students can dress-up for graduation. Parents may take the students from school afterward. However, they need to come to the classroom to get all of their things and their report cards! :)

Looking forward to the last day tomorrow! Thank you to the class for the AMAZING baby gift! :) I am so grateful for all of the support this entire year!

Play-Day!

Unfortunately Ms. Gray stayed behind in the classroom with students not attending play-day while the her friends played at play-day! :( Please refer to Bannon's blog for photos from today.

Whacky Wednesday-Fun Friday!

We had our last presentation on Wednesday. After we watched the presentation we asked very relevant questions to this individual. Then we did some practice math for a little while to prepare for our test until we had Gym.
Our mornings have been filled with reading/sequencing stories/practicing our phonics and preparing for grade 1! We worked on sequencing making an ice cream sundae today... some of our friends said they #1 have never eaten a sundae... & #2 have never made one!... Ms. Gray said, if she talks to our parents we will potentially be able to have a sundae making day next week... Friday was an amazing day for SK. We had lots of fun today while learning and organizing papers to go home.

On Wednesday we completed our Geometry Unit Test! Ms. Gray was very pleased with the outcome from the tests. The tests are in the agenda, if you could sign and send them back that would be greatly appreciated!

For UOI on Wednesday we brought our projects into Ms. Bannon's room and we shared our projects with all the other S.K. classes! Ms. Gray heard friends talking about their favourite seasons and their favourite activities to do in the different seasons.

We have been enjoying our last couple days in SK and have been INCREDIBLY helpful to Ms. Gray. She is going to miss these kiddos over the summer!

Tired Tuesday

Our friends were EXTREMELY tired today! Ms. Gray realized during presentations, that we may need a little bit of a break before we go run around for recess... When we had resting-our-head time (5 mins before recess), 3 friends fell asleep. It is nearing the end of the year, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ensure your babies are getting all the sleep they can tonight! We have a Math test tomorrow! I will try my best to have them take their exam in the AM.

We had 5 presentations today that went great! We had lots of different ways of presenting for this summative project. I am impressed with the creativity that I have seen! Thanks for the hard-work from home to help your children prepare for their presentations!

For Math review we played a game and we did some matching activities. The items on the test are: Positional Words, Drawing 2D shapes, identify 2D shapes by name & identify 3D shapes by name, being able to pick out which shape does not belong (2D/3D)!
