Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day by working on language.  The children worked on a comprehension activity, finished sentences, and identified special sounds.  During math the children continued on with the data management unit.  They were asked to read data on a bar graphs and analyze the results into sentences.  We had social studies today where the children continued working on their world maps. We began colouring in the major continents to identify them, and the children coloured in the countries where their classmates' families come from.  The children also went to french and drama classes today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Language page 109 - 110, Letters and Sounds page 91 - 91, and Artithmetic page 126 - 127.

Important information:  Please see my posts from earlier this week about the need for volunteers to come and speak to the class about life in another country.  I want the children to recieve some first hand information about how life is different from "Canadian life' when you come from another country.

If anyone has any newspaper or string at home that they can send in for our crafts I am still looking to collect these items.  Thank you.

Please see my post from last night about the special spirit days that are going on at St. Jude's next week!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
