Good afternoon!
In today's class we started off the day by recording the new weekly spelling words and working in our spelling books. The children then worked on addition stories, and practiced counting by tens during math. We learned that to add 10 to any two digit number, all you had to do was add 1 to the tens place. This is a very easy way of counting by tens that should not require any finger counting. Ask your child tonight to add ten to any number using this technique! In language the children worked on sentence construction and opposites (grade one) and letter writing, and prefixes (grade two). We also continued on with our literature circles and furthered the discussions on the chapters we have read to date in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The children also went to french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes, practice spelling words, practice poetry, Langauge page 80 - 81.
Important information: Pizza day is happening this Wednesday.
Progress reports are going home shortly. Expect to see them on February 10th.
Please make sure to have a look at the Gala flyer that was emailed and sent home. It has important information about the Gala which is happening on the 12th. It is going to be a great night!
Mrs. Deras has requested that students begin bringing in fake swords (if you have them) that will be used for the Valentine's in Venice play. Also, our class will be required to wear togas during this play. So if you have a white sheet that can be used as a toga, please send it in with your child as soon as possible. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Deras.
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson
