Good afternoon!
It was a great end to a grade week in our one/two class. Today the children worked on a comprehension activity, they worked in their spelling books where proofreading was a focus, they worked on number lines, root words, and rhyming words. The children also went to french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes every night and record in the reading chart, re-write any incorrect spelling words from the spelling test ten times each, finish cursive pages 32 - 33 (grades one and two), finish language book page 24 - 25 (grade two).
Important information: The children will be writing our next history test on the 20th of October (Wednesday). I have posted some study notes at the end of this message. Please read them over with your child if you have spare time this weekend to give them an extra boost! Scholastic order forms went home last night. If you would like to purchase something for your child, please send in the form with a cheque by next Friday. Lastly, information about school picture day went home last night as well. You are asked to indicate your preference for a pose and background colour and send these in as soon as possible.
Have a great weekend!
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson

Good afternoon!
In today's class we started off the day by working on a comprehension activity. The children were asked to read a short story about a child making her mother a birthday present, and then answer the corresponding questions. The children also worked on blends, proper sentences, money, greater than and less than, and read about The Phoenicians in history. During the day today the students also went to music, P.E and french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and practice spelling words for the spelling test tomorrow.
Important information: The Toronto Zoo field trip forms need to be returned with a cheque/cash as soon as possible. If your child will not be attending, I still need the form indicating this preference. If you would like to volunteer as a free attending adult to help with supervision, please let me know. I am sending home Scholastic book order forms home with your child tonight. If you are interested in purchasing anything for them, please send in a cheque by Friday, October 22nd. School pictures information was also sent home with your child in their home folder tonight. Picture day is on the 28th of October.

Good afternoon!
In today's class we worked on the order of numbers, telling time, counting money, addition and subtraction, blends, and our cursive. We also read For The Love of Fruggles and wrote about it in our journals. The children also attended french and drama classes where they had lots of fun!
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, finish cursive pages 30 - 31 (grades one and two), and finish the Letters and Sounds book pages 21 - 22 (grade two) if necessary.
Important information: Tomorrow is gym day. The candy store will be open tomorrow if you would like your child to purchase something. I am still waiting for a few field trip forms to be sent in. Please send these in as soon as possible. I have only received one request to volunteer on the trip so far. If you are interested, please let me know either on the form, or via your child's agenda. I sent home a sheet about how to make Fruggles from string at home. This is an optional activity that your child can do on their spare time at home if they choose. This is not mandatory.

Good afternoon!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! We shared our stories this morning when we returned back to school, and it seemed that all the children enjoyed themselves!
In class today we got our new weekly spelling words assigned to us. The children worked on their spelling books, we read about the beginning of the Israelites, we worked on the special sounds in words, and worked with money. The children also went to music, P.E and french classes.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words and complete the 'Following Direction' worksheet if necessary.
Important information: Tomorrow is pizza day. Field trip forms are due back with a cheque or money if your child is able to come. Winter uniforms must be worn by all children from now on. This means either a long sweater or sweater vest shall be worn everyday. The final math re-test will be given tomorrow at lunch. Please review previous tests with your children to ensure great marks!
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson
