Good afternoon!

The children started off the day today by writing about Guy Fawkes in their journals.  We read a story together to remind us about the history of Guy Fawkes Day, and the students recorded their favourite parts.  Ask them to tell you something about Guy Fawkes Day tonight!  The children also began working on temperature, practiced their proofreading skills, matched words that mean the same thing, and learned about the beginnings of the Persians in history.  They also went to music, P.E and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words for the spelling test tomorrow morning, finish math pages 44- 45 (grade two) and language page 36 (grade two).

Important information:  Scholastic book order forms went home last night.  If you would like to order anything for your child, please make sure you return the form with a cheque by the 10th.  Next Thursday (Nov 11th) is Remembrance Day and we will not be having school on that day.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
