Good afternoon!

We started off the day today working on spelling. The children then moved on to language and practiced their special sounds, abbreviations and suffixes.  During math today we continued working with manipulatives while trying to solve subtraction problems.  The children also made up their own word problems for their friends to solve.  We read another chapter of Pipi Longstocking today and the children wrote about their own secret hiding spot (real or fictional) in their language books.  They also went to french and art classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Language pages 158 - 159 and Letters and Sounds page 146 - 147.

Important information:  Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for important information about the upcoming concert.  We are having another whole-school rehearsal tomorrow afternoon and we want to make sure all children know what they are doing.  I posted our classes' actions on my blog last week, and Mrs. Deras has them posted on her blog as well, so all parents can remain up-to-date about what is going on with the concert.
