Good afternoon,

We had a great day today in our grade 1/2 class.  We started the day by working on ABC order once again and the class seemed to really grasp what we learned yesterday which was great to see!  The students also worked on an activity where they had to write about their favourite movies, books, hobbies and subjects.  Once they completed that activity they all did a presentation to the class to practice their oral communication skills and to help get to know each other better.  In math today we reviewed the concept of counting and discussed why and when we use counting in 'real-life' and then the children worked on counting activities in their Jump Math books.  The students also went to french and music today.  At the end of the day we had a school-wide house game once again where the school comes together to compete in games for house points.  It was lots of fun!

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and complete the ABC order work if necessary.

Important information:  Tomorrow is the last day to order anything form the Scholastic order that was sent home yesterday.  If you would like to purchase anything, please send in a cheque by tomorrow.

I have books posted in a list on the side of this blog.  This is not a required book list.  This list is there for you if you are ever looking for books to read at home for enjoyment with your child.  They are recommended books for a grades one - three.
Please see Mme. Stella's blog for information regarding french duotangs that need to be brought in for french class..

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
