Good afternoon!

In today's class we started off the day by working on language.  The children worked on story writing, special sounds and suffixes.  During math we had a review of adding and subtracting and place value.  We had another drama practice period today where the entire school came together to practice for the Grandparents' Day concert.  The concert is definitely improving, but our class could use some more practice to know what they are doing and when they are doing it.  The children also went to music 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 156 - 157, Letters and Sounds page 142 - 143 and math page 186 - 187.

Important information:  Please see my blog from earlier this week in regards to the Grandparents' Day concert.  I want to make sure that everyone is up-to-date and included in what is going on with the concert.

Wednesday, May 18th we are having our next history test.  This will be a comprehension test to see how well children can recall an oral lesson.  You can practice with your children nightly by asking them questions about the books they are reading at home.  Please see my blog posting from yesterday for further information.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
