We had a very busy day today in our classroom!  The students began the day with their weekly spelling tests.  The spelling tests will be coming home with them tonight.  We then moved on to an IB activity where the children drew pictures of themselves, and identified on IB Learner Profile characteristic that they wish to develop this year.  This was a great way for them to create personal goals to keep them focused for the year.  They also continued working on their good copies of their seasons poems.  All children completed their poems in class today, which left them time to present them to each other.  They had a lot of fun listening to each other's poems!  The marked poem assessments will be coming home with them tonight.  In language today the children worked on special sounds, beginning and ending sounds and picture words, as well as their cursive writing.  During math today the children wrote their unit test. I was really impressed with the results I saw!  The marked unit tests will be coming home with them tonight.  They also went to music and french classes today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write incorrect spelling words ten tiems each, Letters and Sounds page 46 - 47, and cursive page 34 - 35.

Important information:  There is no school tomorrow due to the Remembrance Day holiday. 

I have sent home a great deal of completed work with the students today.  Please make sure to take time to review it with your child over the weekend.  The work does not need to come back to school, as I have made photocopies and recorded the marks already.  These are now for you and your records.

Students who require a math retest (those that scored 84% and lower) may re-write the test on Tuesday, November 15th.

Have a great long weekend,

Mrs. Nelson
