Good afternoon!

In today's class the children started off the day by recording the new weekly spelling words and working on their spelling books.  This week's spelling words are a review (for the grade twos), so it is a great opportunity to make sure that all the tests and practicing have been paying off!  We continued on the day by working on math.  The grade ones worked on counting and adding, where the grade twos worked on completing number stories.  During language the children worked on proofreading, suffixes, beginning sounds of words, and practiced cursive.  During social studies the children presented their culture brochures to the class.  They were very interesting and informative!  The children also went to french and art classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes, practice weekly spelling words, practice poetry, Letters and Sounds page 63 - 64, math page 81 (grade one) 93 (grade two).

Important information:  The marked rubrics for the social studies assignment are going home with your children tonight.  Unfortunately a few children forgot their brochures and could not present.  These will have to be done tomorrow, and their rubrics will be bought home at that time.
The final math re-test for those students requiring one will take place this Wednesday at lunch recess.
This Wednesday is casual day.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
