Good afternoon!

We started off the day today by having our weekly spelling tests.  The students will be bringing home their marked spelling tests with them tonight.  In language today the children worked on root words, suffixes, finishing sentences and syllables.  During our IB unit of inquiry today we continued exploring solar energy.  We read a book about the energy from the sun and then the children worked on identifying the pros and cons of solar energy.  Ask your child tonight to tell you what they learned!  We also read another chapter of Charlotte's Web today and the children wrote a chapter summary in their journals about what they heard and thought about the chapter.  At the end of the day we had a chance to finish watching The Water Horse!  They also went to drama and french classes today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each.

Important information:  The last day of school is on December 16th.  This day is a half day which means that after-school charges will begin at noon.

I am still missing a few report card comments.  Please remember to fill out the parent's comments section of the report card and send it back to school.  We will make a copy and the original report card will be sent promptly back to you.

If you are interested in having a parent/teacher interview with me or any other of your child's teachers, please send back the interview preference form asap.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Nelson
