Good afternoon!

In today's class we began work on our first science project of the year.  All the children picked an animal of their choice, and we began researching them.  This research will eventually turn into a written project and presentation.  Each child has been given a rubric to explain to them the expectations of the assignment, which I encouraged them to share with their parents.  In addition to science, the children also worked on patterning, cursive writing, and vowels.  They also attended french and drama classes.

Homework for tonight:  15 minutes of reading to be recorded on their sheets, cursive writing if it needs to be completed, and spelling practice for the quiz on Friday.

Important information:  Reminder that spirit day is this Friday.  If your child comes dressed in their house colours they will win themselves points!  Also, agendas have just arrived in the school this afternoon and will be sent home with your child starting tomorrow night.  These will be hand written by your child with their homework for the evening, and brought back and forth with them every night.  I would appreciate a signature in the agenda from a parent to ensure that your child is keeping you up-to-date with what work needs to be accomplished.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
