Good afternoon! 

We started off the day today by working on language.  The children worked on creating stories, worked with special sounds and suffixes.  During math the children worked on roman numerals, adding and subtracting, place value and counting and writing money.  We had another school-wide drama rehearsal today for the upcoming Grandparents' Day concert.  The play is definitely improving, but a lot more work needs to be done.  Our class is having issues performing the parts when they are meant to.  Please make sure your children are studying the play and their actions nightly!  The children also went to music, P.E and french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and Letters and Sounds page 148 - 149.

Important information:  In my blog last night I listed off some important dates that are quickly approaching.  Please see these dates and record them on your calendars!

Tomorrow is our next history comprehension test.  I did not release the chapter we are going to be reading, as I want all children to hear the chapter for the first time tomorrow.  I think this is the best way to ensure a fair, and accurate test of their oral comprehension level.  Please feel free to read books and ask your children questions about what has been read as a great way to study and prepare for the test!

This Friday is a P.D Day and there will be no school.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
