Good afternoon!

We had an exciting start to the school day today, as the students participated in an end-of-the-month house assembly!  The houses came together and competed in a house game which was a great deal of fun.  As a school we also celebrated the November birthday students, recognized the students that won for being Knowledgeable this month, and did a draw for prizes with the students who are part of the milk program.  It sure was a fun morning!  There is a picture of the assembly at the end of this posting.

During language today the students had their weekly spelling test.  Students are bringing home their marked spelling tests with them tonight.  Incorrect spelling words should be re-written ten times each.  Students also worked on identifying the difference between 'haven't' and 'hasn't' and 'weren't' and 'wasn't' today in a class discussion.  They worked on reinforcing these concepts in their Language books.

During mathematics today the students completed a unit review.  As a class we went through all the important concepts from this geometry unit.  The students are feeling very prepared for the next math unit test on Tuesday, December 3rd.    Students then had a chance to go back and review the major concepts in their books along with a partner.  The pairs of students worked on identifying the major concepts, summarizing them in their notebooks, and testing each other on their skills.  Find a couple pictures of the students working hard while studying at the end of this posting. 

Homework: Read for 2o minutes and record in the reading log,  re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each, and math review package for Tuesday's math test!

Important information: Picture re-takes went home with students last night for those students who had their picture re-taken.

All students brought home a math review package with them earlier this week t to help them study for the math unit test coming up on Tuesday.

Parent/Teacher interviews are next Thursday, December 5th.  The interview forms went home with all students tonight to inform parents of the time they have been scheduled during the conference period.  Please keep an eye out for this important form tonight!

Term 1 report cards went home with all students tonight.  Please keep an eye out for this important document.

Have a great weekend!

November's Knowledgeable students!
