Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day by working on language.  The children worked on root words, suffixes, plurals and comprehension.  They also learned a trick on how to decipher between words that use a hard 'C' and words that use a K.  Ask your child tonight to tell you the rule!  During math we continued on with data management.  The children played a math game using dice, and the tallied and graphed their results to show their information.  We read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and the children worked on chapter 13 in their literature groups.  They also went to music, french and P.E classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words for tomorrow's spelling test, Language page 111 - 112 and novel study chapter 13 if necessary.

Important information:  Please see my post earlier this week about the special spirit days beginning next week.  Monday is going to be Crazy Hair Day.  The students in Mr. Sawatsky have organized these days as a way to generate a charitable donation for a Haiti relief fund.

I am still looking for old new papers for an upcoming craft in case anyone has any collected at home meant to go out on garbage day.

Next Friday, April 1st we are having our next math unit test on the data management unit we have been working on.

Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for important information about the upcoming play.  The script for The Pied Piper of Hamelin has gone home with you child and there is important information about the speaking roles available in this play.

Pizza order forms are going home with your child tonight in their home folder.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
