Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day working in our language books.  The children practiced creating sentences, proofreading, root words, special sounds and 'may' versus 'can'.  During math time the children practiced counting by twos and odd and even numbers (grade one) and had a review of time, temperature, and money (grade two).  The children also were given a math review sheet for the unit test that is taking place next Wednesday.  In the afternoon we read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the children had a chance to work with their language groups to review the chapter.  The children also went to french and drama classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice spelling words for tomorrow's spelling test, practice poetry for tomorrow's poetry competition, Letters and Sounds page 78 - 79 and complete book study Chapter 6.

Important information:  Tomorrow is our in-class poetry competition.  All children are going to be asked to recite their poems in front of the class.  I will choose the winners from this competition to go on and compete in the school-wide competition on the 23rd.

Wednesday, February 23rd is our next math unit test.  The children are bringing home a unit review sheet with them tonight.  It does not have to be completed in full tonight.  It is due on Tuesday.

This Friday is a P.D Day.  The children are not required to come to school.  Also, this Monday is Family Day so the children are not required to come to school.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
