Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day with a comprehension activity.  The children read a story about the history of Guy Fawkes Day and answered corresponding questions.  Guy Fawkes Day is happening this Friday, so it was great to see the children become aware of the background of this holiday.  Ask your child tonight to explain to you what Guy Fawkes Day is, and why we celebrate it!  We also worked on our cursive, practised estimating and grouping in math, sorted various motions into like categories, and acted out different motions in P.E class.  The children also went to music and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, finish cursive pages 47 - 48 (grade one) 46 - 47 (grade two).

Important information:  Tomorrow is pizza day.  The grade twos will be completing their CAT tests tomorrow all day long.  The grade ones will have a regular day taught by Ms. Land.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
