Good afternoon!

It was very nice to get back to school today after four days away.  We started off the day today working on spelling.  The students copied down the new weekly spelling words and worked in their spelling books.  They also worked on finishing sentences in language today.  During math, the children completed the chapter on addition and subtraction sentences.  Most of the children completed their chapter review, but a few are bringing it home for homework.  We will not be having a unit test for this chapter as we completed the unit in a whole-class group and I was able to assess them daily on whether or not they are grasping the concepts.  We had another whole-school rehearsal today for the upcoming concert.  The students seemed to be doing well with their parts, but paying attention to Mrs. Deras is a big problem.  All students could work on their focusing while on stage to better enhance their performance.  The children also went to music, french and P.E classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, math page 176 and Letters and Sounds page 154 - 155.

Important information:  Tomorrow is casual day at St. Jude's.  Children may come to school dressed in casual clothing.

Cookies will be for sale at lunch recess for $1.

Thursday is the SJA track and field competition.

Friday is the Grandparents' Day Concert.

A field trip form went home with your child tonight about the upcoming Canada's Wonderland school trip.  Please send the completed form with a cheque or money by June 3rd.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
