Good afternoon!

Welcome back after a nice, long weekend with your families! 

We started off the day today by chatting about our Family Day weekends.  The children shared what they did over the weekends, and we drew pictures to hang in the hallway.  Come walk by our door when you are stopping by the school to check out the artwork!  We continued on with the day by having a review period in math.  The chapter review sheets were taken up, and any last minute questions were answered before tomorrow's math unit test.  The review sheets will be coming home again with your child tonight to give them a chance to review the concepts they had trouble with today in our review period.  During language we read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the children discussed it in their literature circles and worked on their book study.  The children also went to music, french and P.E classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice poetry if you are one of the ones competing tomorrow, cursive pages 85 - 86 and book study chapter seven.

Important information:  Our class is not having weekly spelling words this week.  It is a short week and I wanted to make sure that the children presenting tomorrow had enough time to prepare.  We will continue with our spelling words next week.

Tomorrow's school-wide poetry/speech competition will take place at 9:15am.  Any parents and families that are interested in attending are welcome to do so!  Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for tips for the children who are presenting.

Tomorrow is casual day.

Tomorrow is our math unit test.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
