Good afternoon!

We started off the day today by working in our spelling books and copying down the new weekly spelling words.  In language the children worked on learn/teach, may/can and created sentences.  During math the children began a new unit on data management and probability.  We used counters in class- sorted them and turned the information into graphs.  The children also worked with counting by twos, money, and adding triple digit numbers.  In class today we also read chapter nine of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the children did their summaries of the chapter in their literature groups.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes, practice weekly spelling words, Language page 100 - 101, math page 120 - 121, and book study chapter nine.

Important information:  Tomorrow is our pancake eating contest at St. Jude's so make sure your children come to school with their appetites!

Friday is St. Patrick's Spirit Day at St. Jude's.  All children are asked to come to school in green themed casual clothes for house points.

The math re-tests were completed at lunch recess today.  Marked tests will be going home with your child tonight.

The next math re-test for those that need it will be this Wednesday at lunch recess.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
