Happy Monday!
It was nice to get back to school today after a weekend away. We started off today by recording the new weekly spelling words and working in our spelling workbooks. They worked on short 'o' words (grade one) and 'y' vowel words (grade two). In our IB unit of inquiry today we read a story called 'Why Should I Save Energy' that focused on a family that has trouble saving energy. A boy named Robert came into their house and gave them tips and suggestions for saving energy and explained to them the importance of energy conservation. After the story the children worked in their journals and provided tips for saving energy, as well as a summary of the importance of saving energy. We also began a new class books called The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. We will be reading this book together as a class and doing chapter summaries similair to what took place with Charlotte's Web. During math today the children worked on wide, narrow and height (grade one) and adding and subtracting with tens (grade two). They also went to french and P.E classes.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Spelling Workbook, cursive page 88 - 89, math pages 114 - 115, and complete journal (2 energy conservation tips and 1 reason for why it is important to save energy in complete sentences).
Important information: The SJA Gala is taking place on Saturday, February 11th and begins at 6pm. The theme for this year is 'Love Through the Ages'. Families and friends are all invited for this exciting evening of concerts, auctions, dinner and dancing.

Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson
