Good afternoon!

In today's class the students started off the day by copying down their new weekly spelling words and working in their spelling books.  They also worked on their cursive, suffixes, root words, special sounds and opposites.  During math we had a chapter review period to help the students get ready for their math unit test on Friday.  The children went through their math books and reviewed what they have learned about surveys and graphing throughout this unit and recorded the 6 main facts they have learned.  We read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the children worked on chapter 15 in their literature groups.  They also went to french and art classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in your reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, cursive page 93 - 94, math page 132 and finish book study chapter 15 if necessary.

Important information:  Tomorrow is Pajama Day.  Children may come to school in their pajamas if they wish.  Mr. Sawatsky's class will be collecting donations for the Haiti relief fund from those who are willing to participate.

Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for important information about the upcoming play our class is involved with.  Scripts went home with your child last Wednesday and should have been read over.

Our next math unit test is taking place this Friday.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
