Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day by working on a comprehension activity.  The children were asked to read a short story about a child making her mother a birthday present, and then answer the corresponding questions.  The children also worked on blends, proper sentences, money, greater than and less than, and read about The Phoenicians in history.  During the day today the students also went to music, P.E and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and practice spelling words for the spelling test tomorrow.

Important information:  The Toronto Zoo field trip forms need to be returned with a cheque/cash as soon as possible.  If your child will not be attending, I still need the form indicating this preference.  If you would like to volunteer as a free attending adult to help with supervision, please let me know.  I am sending home Scholastic book order forms home with your child tonight.  If you are interested in purchasing anything for them, please send in a cheque by Friday, October 22nd.  School pictures information was also sent home with your child in their home folder tonight.  Picture day is on the 28th of October.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
