Good afternoon!

We started off the day today working on 'short E' words.  The children had to identify them and then use them in sentences.  They were also asked to think of their own 'short E' words to put into sentences. Today while working the IB line of inquiry on rules,  the children presented the skits they had worked on yesterday in their partners.  It was a very fun and creative way of seeing what rules have stood out to them during this unit.  They all were assessed on their skits using a checklist which I will photocopy for each student and send home tomorrow.  During math today the children had some much needed practice tracing and writing out their numbers (grade one).  The grade twos worked on addition and subtraction sentences.  They completed questions and even began making their own addition and subtraction sentences.  They also went to french and music classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice spelling words for tomorrow's spelling test, and complete bell work if necessary.

Important information:  Cookies are going to be on sale everyday for $1 with all proceeds going towards the student council.

Tomorrow is our first Spirit Day.  Children may come to school dressed in their house colours if they choose.

The lunches provided by Lunch Moms do not come with cutlery.  If you are ordering your child a lunch with Lunch Moms, please send in a set for your child to use in their lunch bags.

Now that the second week of school is almost over, Mr. Sawatsky is going to begin watching student's uniforms more closely.  Students must come to school in their full uniform.  In our class I have students who often some not wearing proper shoes, wearing non-uniform sweaters, and wearing socks that are not the navy socks that are allowed.  Please make sure your child comes to school in a proper uniform everyday.  If there is an issue with the supplier please let me know.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
