Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day with a comprehension activity.  The children were asked to listen to three small stories, and then find the pictures to best suit what happened in the story.  In class today we also worked on our estimating skills, worked on compound words, identified the special sounds in a variety of words, practiced cursive, and began our new science unit.  The new science unit we have begun studying is called Structures and Mechanisms.  The children also went to french and drama class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice spelling words, finish cursive (page 42 - 43 for grade ones and 41 - 42 for grade twos), and finish the science introduction sheet.

Important information:  Tomorrow is picture day.  Please make sure they come to school in their full St. Jude's uniform and bring their gym clothes to change into.  Friday is our Halloween dress up day!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
