Good afternoon!

In today's class we worked on our journals.  The children were asked to add a suffix to the word 'plant' and then write a story about it.  Feel free to quiz your child on suffixes.  After all the work we have done in class, I hope they can all offer examples of a root word and a suffix to go along with it!  The children also worked on cursive, addition, number order, problem solving, and an animals review sheet for our zoo trip tomorrow.  In history, the children wrote their history tests on Babylon.  The children also went to french and drama classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and finish cursive pages 38 - 39 (grades one and two).

Important information:  Tomorrow is our zoo trip.  We will be leaving the school tomorrow at 9am.  Please ensure that your child is here promptly so that we do not have to hold up the bus.  Gym uniforms should be worn.  It is a good idea to send them in layers, as the morning will probably be cold, but the afternoon should hopefully warm up.  They have forecasted the possibility of rain, so umbrellas are also a good idea. Pizza forms went home for the month of November.  Please send in the form with a cheque or cash as soon as possible.  Lastly, I am still waiting for a few more picture information forms back for picture day next week.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
