Hello Students, Parents and guardians

Today was the barbecue; I hope everyone had lots of fun interacting with the various members of the staff. It was a great pleasure to meet you all. Looking forward to any communication you may need to have with me. In the future, feel free to email me at klee-guide@stjudesacademy.com . Unless you are one of my students come, see me live. My classroom is always open for your questions, problems, advice or praise.

For my Physics grade 11

Today we worked on the five main equations of motion and how it applies to various problems. We will expand on this knowledge next class.

For my French grade 7

Today we worked on common words used in a classroom setting. I expect you guys to no longer use those English words in the classroom. Show me that you can excel in the French language. Don’t forget to do the first two pages in the hand out (no more than that please).

For my Math grade 12

We are now learning about AROC and how we determine the slope of a curved line at any given point. Most of you were done your work in class, for does that weren’t please finish in time for tomorrow.

Have fun and love Math

Hello students, parents and guardians,

I am excited to meet those who are coming to the barbecue tomorrow. Feel free to speak to me about any questions you may have concerning the Math, Physics, and French courses that I am teaching.

To my Math Grades 11 and 12
Hope you all did well in you first test of the year. You should be all proud of the hard work that you have done in preparation for the test. We will be starting new material tomorrow, so please take a moment and relax.  You deserve it. 

To my Physics Grade 12
No relaxation for you, please finish the questions on p. 40 #1 to 4. Remember that the mass of an object has no bearing on the acceleration during free fall. Work together.

Have fun and love Math,

Hello students,
To my Math grade 12 and grade 11 classes, Good luck for the test tomorrow!
To my homeroom team purple, be ready to take down Ms Sy (soon to be last place homeroom team orange). We will be playing a game called Codenames, for all of our homeroom points. Please remember to bring in your orders for the barbecue and key FOB tomorrow for me to see.
For my French class
Don’t forget to come and see me as soon as possible with your finished work. This way you and your team can pick which positions your team gets in the presentations. Just as a reminder,  you must answer question on page five and define les mots-cles.

Happy Eid to those who celebrate, Happy Monday to everyone else!

Just a few announcements, we are having a  welcome back barbecue on September 15th, The form for the event is with our students and/or sent via an email. Please fill in the form and hand it in by September 14th.

For my Grade 12 Math
We worked on piecewise functions and inverse functions. Tomorrow we will be reviewing the unit in preparation for the test on Wednesday. Make sure you prep with questions.

For my Grade 11 Math
We worked on graphing functions using transformations. Tomorrow we will be reviewing the unit in preparation for the test on Wednesday. Please make sure you prep with questions.

For my Grade 12 Physics
We reviewed trigonometric equations and how they apply to Physics. Please complete pg 29 #1-12 for Wednesday.

Have fun and love Math

Hello students
Hope you had a fun Spirit Dress Up Day! I know I did, with my purple Batman shirt. The purple homeroom ROCKS! Mister Pebbles, our purple rock mascot, felt ignored today. So please take the time to say hello.

For my Grade 11 Physics:
We worked on definition of Physics and  elements of the kinematic unit. We focused on the difference between distance and displacement, vector and scalar.

For my Grade 11 Math:
We explored transformations of parent functions, the affect that variables can have on the function. Do not forget the homework question on page 60.

For my Grade 12 Math
We completed the table of the parent functions that you are going to use through out the year. Then we worked on parent functions and the transformations that can be applied to it. Homework will be page 35 #1-13 odds.

For my Grade 7 French
Today we worked on the verb etre in present tense as a refresher from the previous year. We will be working on  some more sentence structures in the next few classes.

Have a great weekend, and love Math (French too),

- Mr. Lee-Guide

Hello students, parents and guardians

Just a reminder that there is pizza available in the cafeteria for 2 dollars a slice. Some of our students need combination locks for their lockers. Parents please make sure that the lock they are using are not key locks. Students make sure that your homeroom teachers are aware of your combination.


For grade 11 Math

Today we talked about function notation, how to write functions. What are parent functions, with a few examples, and how to determine the domain and range of a function.
Homework for today consists of p.35 question 1-3, 9, 12, 14.


For grade 12 Math

Today we talked about absolute functions, and the properties of graph of functions. For homework, please complete the function table on page 25


For grade 12 Physics

Today we talked about kinematics, Newton’s laws and the five key equations for uniformly Accelerated Motion. Don't forget to finish Practice question 1-6 AS A TEAM for next class.


Have fun and love math!

Welcome all students to the first day of classes. Today we went over rules and classroom expectations.

Grade 11 Functions:
Today we went over the definitions of functions, domain, range, and relation. We also discussed examples of functions and relations.
Homework: Pg. 10 Questions 1-14. Due tomorrow.

Grade 12 Advanced Functions
Today we reviewed the definition of functions, and some classifications of functions.
Homework: Pg. 11 Questions 1-13. Due tomorrow.

Grade 11 Physics
Sorry we didn't get a lot of time today, due to homeroom activities and orientation, but rest assured, we will be diving into Physics on Friday!
Homework: no homework tonight!

Grade 7 French
Today we discussed global context, and IB learning goals. We also practiced our oral French.
Homework: no homework tonight!

It was so nice meeting you all today. I hope we can all learn a lot from each other this academic year. I hope you all had a great first day!

See you next class,
