Good afternoon!

We had another great day today!  We started off the say today by working on ABC order which the class seemed to really enjoy. Ask your child tonight to tell you what they learned about sorting words using ABC order.  We also read stories about animals and learned a great deal of interesting facts.  As a class we began discussing the idea of rules and we brainstormed reasons why we have rules and how they can help keep us happy and safe.  We also talked about where we see rules and why we follow them.  As a class we created a list of classroom rules that are now posted in our room.  The children also went to drama, french and P.E today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and complete the 'Bell Work' entry on ABC order.

Important information:  The children are bringing home their agendas and home folders tonight. These two items need to come back and forth DAILY and should not be kept at home.  The reading chart has an area that needs to be marked every night that indicated how many minutes of reading that has been done.  There is also a place for a parent's signature.

Please see Mme. Stella's blog for information about french duotangs that need to be brought in by our class.

I sent home Scholastic book order forms home with your child tonight.  If you are interested in purchasing anything, please send in a cheque by Friday, Sept 9th.

Have a great evening,

Mrs. Nelson
