Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day working on our proofreading skills.  The children were asked to correctly re-write sentences and then illustrate their writing.  In math the children began our third unit, 'Time, Temperature and Money'.  In language the children continued working on their rough copies of their letters back to Mr. Sawatsky's class, and practiced writing sentences using question marks.  The children also went to music, P.E and french classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice for tomorrow's spelling test, review for math re-test tomorrow if necessary, and finish colouring the math colouring page.

Important information:  The St. Jude's Christmas Concert is quickly approaching.  Our class has been sent home from drama with individual scripts and a group song that Mrs. Deras would like the children to practice every night.  It has also been suggested that children start to locate a few props for our class' scene in the concert.  The following is kindly requested to be gathered to be used the night of the concert: a set of pajamas for your child to wear, slippers to be worn on stage, a robe (if your child prefers it to be worn over pajamas), and a plastic headband with antlers attached.  Also, if anyone has a small sleigh that can be borrowed for the evening that would be wonderful. 
Picture money is due by the 30th. 
If you would like to purchase anything from Scholastic for your child please make sure the money and forms are brought in by tomorrow.
Lastly, Mrs. Couch has sent a notice that on Monday, November 29th, the children will begin painting props for the Christmas concert.  If you have not already sent in an old t-shirt or smock for your child please make sure they have one for Monday.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
