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.

Music - Ms. Hayward

Language- students reviewed the letters of the alphabet that we've done so far by playing a round of I Have Who Has alphabet game. Then we talked about the name, sound and formation of the new letter of the week: Mm. After listing words that begin with that letter we completed 2 pages in their Writing With Phonics workbooks.

Math - students completed a count & colour worksheet. They had to count the different Christmas items they saw in the picture and write the corresponding number in the box beside it.

UOI - students have started their books about Christmas Around the World. Every day we will be "travelling" to another country.

Have a great evening!
