Good afternoon!
We started off the day today by having a St. Patrick's Day celebration in the auditorium. The children seemed to have a lot of fun together! We also had the awards celebration this morning, where the children who won the oral presentations received their metals. When we got back to class the children did their spelling test. Marked spelling tests will be going home with them tonight. The students also worked in their spelling books, and their language books. They practiced proofreading, and creating sentences. In the afternoon we began watching the movie version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. We will complete the movie when we return after March break, once we have a chance to read the last few chapters of the novel. The children also went to french class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart every night, and re-write any incorrect spelling words ten times each.
Have a great march break and I will see you all again on the 21st!
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson

Good afternoon!
We started off the day today by having our school-wide pancake eating contest. All the students seemed to have a really great time, which was a lot of fun to watch! When we returned to class we worked on language. The children created stories, worked with write/right, and created sentences. In math we continued on with our new data management unit. The children practiced tallying, surveying and creating bar graphs. We also had a period today that discussed and celebrated diversity. We read a story about a girl starting a new school who was told that she was 'different' from the other students because of her interests, looks, and clothing. The girl eventually realized that it was better to respect your own differences, as well as the differences that other people have. After we read the story the children wrote letters to the girl expressing their thoughts on how diversity is a positive thing. Ask your child tonight to tell you what diversity is and how it is a good thing! The children also went to music, french and P.E classes.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes, practice weekly spelling words, and math page 123.
Important information: The final math re-test will take place tomorrow at lunch recess for those children who need one.
This Friday is the St. Patrick's Day spirit day at St. Jude's. Please send your children in green clothing so that they can earn house points for their houses.
This Friday is the beginning of March break. After the completion of school on Friday, children will not come back to school until the 21st of March.
