Good afternoon!

It was nice to be back today after taking a day off to be sick yesterday.  I was feeling much better and happy to get back to it!  We started off the day today with a math period.  The children worked on creating stories with numbers, pictures or words, worked on their addition and subtraction and continued to use 1/4 fractions.  During language the children worked towards proofreading sentences and created their own sentences, worked with suffixes (grade two) rhyming, ABC order, and suffixes (grade one).  We also started our first literature circle today.  We started reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  The class was broken into group with their literature roles assigned to them.  I am very excited to begin studying this great novel!  The children also went to french and drama classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes, practice spelling words, practice poetry, math page 95 - 95, Language page 77 - 78, and Letters and Sounds page 65 - 66.

Important information: Please make sure that your children are continuing to read every night and recording their progress in their chart.  The more they read, the better they will be at reading.  The better they are at reading, the more they will enjoy it!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
