Good afternoon!

In today's class the grade twos completed their CAT testing all day long.  We got it all done in the one day, which was great!  While I was working with the grade twos, the grade ones went with Ms.Land and worked on a comprehension activity about fireflies, worked on estimating and counting money in math, discussed opposites and rhyming words, and practiced their cursive.  Friday is Guy Fawkes Day.  Ask your child to tell you who and what Guy Fawkes Day is all about!

Homework for tonight:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words for the spelling test, and finish Letters and Sounds pages 44 - 45 (grade one).

Important information:  Next Thursday (Nov. 11th) is Remembrance Day.  There will not be any school that day so that families can go and pay their respect to past and present Canadian soldiers.  Tomorrow is a gym day.  Scholastic book order forms are coming home tonight.  If you are interested in buying something for your child, please send in the form with a cheque by November the 10th.  Forms are going home tonight with information about an upcoming Free Movie Night

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
