Good afternoon!

We had a great day today.  We started off the day by having our weekly spelling test.  The marked spelling tests will be coming home with your child tonight.  Then we worked on phonics where the children worked on picture words, blends and special sounds.  During our IB unit of inquiry the children learned how the sun affects humans, and also why we sneeze in the spring.  We also acted out the orbit of the earth around the sun, which was a fun way to further investigate this subject.  You child is bringing home a sheet with them tonight with a seasons poem to read with you at home, and a picture of the earth's orbit that they are going to explain to you over the weekend.  We also watched a movie about seasons and weather.  They students also went to french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each and cursive pages 26 -  27.

Important information:  Monday is Halloween Dress-up Day at SJA.  Your children are welcome to come to school dressed up in their Halloween costumes for the day.

We are also going to be having a Halloween party in our class that day.  Children are able to bring snacks and treats in for the class to share if they would like to.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
