Good afternoon!

We started off the day today by copying down the new weekly spelling words and working in our spelling books.  During language the children worked on suffixes, story writing, syllables and cursive.  In math today we started our new unit: 3D geometry.  The children had a great time using various 3D shapes to make structures and discussing 3D shapes with their partner.  In social studies the children had a lesson on encyclopedias.  They learned what they are and how to use them.  They were asked to work with a partner to research a country using an encyclopedia and then organized their facts into a Venn Diagram.  The children also went to french and art class today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Cursive page 97 and Language page 120 - 121.

Important information:  Math re-test were completed at lunch recess today.  The marked tests will be going home with your child tonight.  Children who require a re-test will be able to do this Wednesday at lunch recess.

Scholastic book order forms went home with your child tonight.  If you are interested in purchasing anything the form and monies need to be return by Friday, April 8th.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
