We had another great day today in our class.  The students started off the day working on proofreading sentences.  They were asked to correctly spell words, add capitals where needed, and omit capitals where they were used incorrectly.  The children seem to have a lot of fun working on this skill.  The moved on to cursive where they had a review page and worked on the lower case 'm'.  During our IB unit of inquiry we had a very exciting period where the children learned the differences between fiction and non-fiction books.   We also discussed important elements of the earth, such as the atmosphere and the equator, and discussed how these relate the weather and climate.  Ask your child tonight to tell you what they learned about climate and the equator!  During math the children worked on more and less (grade one) and number order (grade two).  They also went to french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minuttes and record in the reading chart, practice spelling words, math pages 55 - 56 (grade one) pages 54 - 55 (grade two) and cursive pages 21 - 22.

Important information:  Tomorrow is Picture Day.  Although it is a gym day, your child should NOT come to school dressed in their gym uniform.  We would like full SJA uniforms for picture day. 

Thursday is Casual Day.

Monday is Halloween Dress-up Day, as well as our class Halloween party.  Please feel free to send in any nut-free treats if you would like to for the party.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
