Good afternoon!

We had a great day today.  We started off the day by working on language.  The children wrote stories, practiced rhyming words, and finished sentences.  During math the children began a unit on measurement.  We discussed how to use a ruler, the differences between cms and mms, and when to use meters to measure.  Ask you child tonight to tell you what they learned about measurement!  The children also had a review of addition, subtraction and fractions.  We read another chapter of Pipi Longstocking today, which the children enjoyed.  And we had another whole-school rehearsal for the Grandparents' Day concert.  The students also went to french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Letters and Sounds page 156 - 157 and math page 202 - 203.

Important information:  Tomorrow is the SJA track and field event.  It is happening rain or shine!  Children must come to school dressed in their gym clothes, ready to compete.  If tomorrow is not raining, we are heading outside for the entire afternoon.  This means that hats, water bottles and sun screen are very important for tomorrow!  Sun screen must be applied at home and not at school.

Friday is the Grandparent's Day concert.  Please make sure your child is practicing and ready to perform.  They were all given notices from Mrs. Deras last week about what costumes are required.  Please contact Mrs. Deras if you have any questions.

If your child is in the choir, please make sure they have a yellow top and black bottoms to wear for their choir song during the Grandparents' Day concert.  They will be able to change into it at school.

Wonderland field trip forms are due June 3rd.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
