Bonjour!

We started off the day today with our weekly spelling tests.  The marked spelling tests will be coming home with the students tonight.  I ask that the students re-write any incorrect spelling words 10 times each in their spelling books (including the bonus word).  After the spelling test we moved on to language.  During language the children were asked to use their journals to write predictions for their upcoming March Break.  Each child was asked to write out three predictions, with each prediction being at least two sentences long. Ask your child tonight to hear their thoughts for the upcoming break!  During our IB Unit of Inquiry today we did a reflection on the Reptile Show that we attended yesterday.  The students were asked to reflect back on various parts, and also identify which learner profile attribute they were displaying through the show.  We also finished reading The Tale of Despereaux today.  This story was one that the students responded to very well, and was enjoyed by us all! In the afternoon we had an early March Break treat with popcorn and a viewing of the movie version of Despereaux.  The students also went to french class.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, complete journal if necessary, and re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each.

Important Information:  A form went home regarding summer camps being offered at SJA earlier this week  Please keep your eye out for it.

A form also went home regarding a Running Club that is beginning at SJA.  Children must have permission to join the running club as it is taking place after school. 

We will be having our next casual day on Thursday, March 29th.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun-filled March Break. I will look forward to seeing everyone back on the 26th!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
