Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day with a comprehension activity about a world-record holding dog.  Ask your child tonight to tell you about the unusual record Spunky was able to break!  The students continued on by working on suffixes and special sounds, estimating, and discussing how simple machines can make life much easier for us.  The students also had music, P.E and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and complete the simple machines science sheet.

Important information:  ROM trip forms and picture money are both due back on the 19th- this Friday.  I am still waiting for many student's forms.  If you would like them to go on the trip, please send the form and funds back as soon as possible.  Picture money needs to come back if you would like to purchase pictures.  If you would not like to, please send back the envelope with the pictures that went home.  Students who had re-takes will bring home their new photos shortly.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
