March Break Camp

March Break Camp registration forms were sent home back in October. We have had many students sign up since then and especially over the last few days. If you are interested in registering your chid for our March Break camp, please send in the completed registration form, along with the $20 one-time non-refundable deposit in order to secure your child's spot (this could be paid in cash or through fresh books). This year there are two options to chose from the first being lunch and two snacks provided or the second being send your own packed lunch and a discounted camp rate! We also have daily rates available. Please contact Ms. Smith bsmith@stjudesacademy.com for more details.

Good Evening,

I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend!

This past week was really fun with the K-Grade 2's. We were able to get some gym time even though the High School exams are running until this Wednesday! I focused this week on balance and coordination as we didn't have the space to do a sport!

With the little space we had I taught the kids a game called "Ice Cream Cone" where the kids are asked to pair up and they're given a pylon and a balloon. The 1 partner has to pass the balloon off his/her ice cream cone and the partner has to catch the balloon on their cone.

I also had the kids participate in gonoodle which is an online workout/ dace program for classes to compete against themselves for points and new characters!

The kids participated in Yoga on Friday as well. I had the kids each choose a theme on cosmic kids and the kids followed a 30 minute exercise!

We will once again be in the classroom for gym until High School exams are completed and then we will be back in the auditorium again for our units!

Hi Parents,

We had a great week in Gym class! Unfortunately this week we had 2 days of gym inside the classroom as there were meetings and conferences being held in the Auditorium. I have many fun websites that are follow along workout videos that I do with the kids and would love to share them with you!

2. The Learning Station

3. Cosmic Kids

Monday and Tuesday we were in the Auditorium and we continued working on our stations. I added in jump rope for the grade 1 and 2's! Stations were - frisbee toss into the bin, bean bag toss into bins, and soccer and basketball dribbling.

Wednesday and Thursday were in the classrooms and the kids behaved so well inside the class!!!

Friday was an obstacle course day. I set up a few different obstacles for the kids to go through while balancing a bean bag on their head!
After the kids each went through the course a few times we played "Ship to Shore" which is a new game I introduced to the kids. It is all about following instructions that the Captain gives his Pirates!


Have a great week!
Ms. Yustin
