Good afternoon!

We started off the day today with our weekly spelling test and worked in our spelling books.  The marked spelling tests will be going home with your child tonight.  The children worked on adding and subtracting two and three digit numbers, number order and word problems in math.  We also read another chapter of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe today and the children worked on chapter 14 in their literature groups.  We had a chance for some art time in class today as well, which was nice.  I played different types of music for the children and they were asked to sit and listen and then draw pictures of what they felt/imagined as they listened to the music.  The music from Swan Lake was one of the songs they listened to and enjoyed.  They also went to french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write incorrect spelling words 10 times each, cursive page 91 - 92 and book study chapter 14 if necessary.

Important information:  Report cards for term 2 went home with your child tonight.  Please have a look in their home folder for it.

Monday is Crazy Hair day at St. Jude's.  Mr. Sawatsky's class will be collecting donations from the children that come to school with crazy hair for the earthquake relief in Haiti.  School uniforms must still be worn.

Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for important information about the upcoming play that your child may have a chance to participate in.

I saw online that there is a children's performance of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe this weekend downtown.  Here is the information for any families that are interested and able to attend:  http://www.nowtoronto.com/stage/listings/listing.cfm?listingid=53404
