Good afternoon!

We started off the day today by working in our language books.  The children worked on root words, suffixes, created sentences, short and long vowels and proofreading.  During math we continued working on our new unit- data management.  The children worked on surveys, tallying, and using their collected information to make graphs.  We also read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe today as well.  The children then got into their literature groups and completed their book study for chapter ten.  They also went to french and drama classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Language page 104 and book study chapter 10 if necessary.

Important information:  The math re-test was completed at lunch today.  The marked test will be going home with your children tonight.  Children who require another retest will be writing it tomorrow at recess, as I want to make sure they are all completed before we all leave for holidays.

Friday is our St. Patrick's spirit day at St. Jude's.  Please send your child to school wearing green so they can win points for their house!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
