Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day with a language activity that focused on reading and assessing body language.  The children were asked to look at pictures and decide what the body language of the picture was telling them.  If you would like, ask your child what 'body language' means, and to give you an example of showing a message with their actions; without any words.  The children also worked on compound words, suffixes, matching sentences with pictures, graphing, and learned about the Greek Dark Ages.  The students also went to music, P.E and french classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and finish colouring the map of ancient Greece.

Important information:  The history re-test will be tomorrow at lunch recess for children who scored 84% or less on the Chapter 17 test.  Tomorrow is casual day, so the students do not have to come to school in any St. Jude's uniform.  Thursday is picture day for all children.  All children need to come to school in their full St Jude's uniforms, and will be asked to change into their gym clothes here at school on the 28th.  The 29th is going to be our Halloween Day here at St. Jude's.  Children can come to school dressed in costume!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
