Happy Earth Day!

This week we have a lot of math homework. The class had twenty minutes to get started on it this morning. Knowing your "doubles" and "magic numbers" is really helpful doing these long equations.The spelling words are: which, always, try, must, under, open, just, buy, time, and think. Remember to read every night.
We are collecting pennies for wells in Africa. Thank you to all who have contributed to date.
Have a good week.

Trouting season is here!

I am hearing lots of "fishing stories" this week!
The spelling words this week are in your child's agenda and homework. We have no school for students on Friday so we will be having our test tomorrow, Thursday. Please see that your child's homework is in. Everyone got a good start on it on Monday in class so it shouldn't have taken long to finish up. READ, READ, READ, I am sounding like a broken record/CD, or whatever. It is very important as you know, to be reading regularly.
Friday, April 19th is a Professional Development Day for Teachers. There is no school for students.
Friday, April 26th we have an assembly at 1:10 pm.

Mud Season

For this week's spelling words please see the list in your child's agenda or homework. PLEASE have your child read regularly. It is also a great idea to have a novel on "the go". One that you can read to your child Children/ if they are within a few years of each other. Be sure to stop reading now and then to make sure they understand the story. Often we assume they know what a word means but when asked, they really don't.
-Book orders are due on the 15th, or there abouts.

Winter is back....or so it seems.

This week our spelling words are: best, small, over, long, off, together, sit, were, part, and shell. Please see that your child reads every night. We are preparing for our Literacy Assessment. It is a good idea to discuss the stories with your child and ask them some questions too. Today we had TNB perform the "Velveteen Rabbit". It was great. The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed it, as did the rest of us.
 The playground is a cold spot. Please don't put those winter coats away yet. We still need hats and mittens too.

Very short week

This is indeed a very short week. Only a couple of nights to get homework done. It is not too difficult, I am sure thete won't be any problems. Spelling words are in your child's agenda. Please be going over the days of the week and months of the year with your chilld. Remember those "doubles" and "magic numbers" too. Parent/Teacher Interviews are Wed. evening and Thursday morning. The Scholastic Book Fair is also underway. There will be no school until April 2nd. We have a TNB production that Tuesday morning. If you have paid the Student Fees your child is all set. PLEASE pack your child a lunch that day as the cafeteria is out of bounds. I think that covers everything. Enjoy yor extra long weekend.

Public Speaking

Well here it is with Report Cards and Parent/Teacher Interviews next week already. Speeches need to be in by Wednesday, when we start hearing them in class. Friday the finalists will deliver their speeches at the afternoon assembly.
Spelling words this week are: came, found, out, his, ask, draw, ate, fall asked and truck. Please see that your child has his/her homework in before or on Friday. Reading should be happening on a regular basis. Have a great week!
