1. Spelling Unit 2- all words should be written out 5 times by Tuesday. All or most finished in class today. Spelling sentences and activities will start in mid November. Right now, they will just write the words out and study for tests at the end of the week. Test this week will be Thursday.
2. Paragraph #2- This will be marked. Please try to have a look at your child's paragraph. You can help point out silly errors such as capitals, spelling and some punctuation which we have already reviewed in class. Then, when the student hands the paragraph in, he/she can get a better mark for having taken the time to get it partially edited. If you do not have time, students will also be able to get a peer to check it.
3. SS Provinces and Capitals test- pls sign if you have time and return. Most students did very well- 90 to 100% on almost all tests! That is great!
4. Mystery house novel- new book cover- colored and outlined in felt- due Friday.

Then, I can spend more one to one time for that 15 minute period on Math help. Thanks for your understanding.

1. Times table practice- 10-15 minutes per night until memorized.
2. SS- World and Canada map- due Wednesday all colored and labelled-most kids finished in class.
3. Haiku poems- 3- typed or hand printed neatly, with pictures and color (could take from magazines or clipart or draw). Due Thursday- more time will be given in class.
All students have handed in field trip forms to Salmon Run. Some parents have indicated that they will meet us out there. We will probably hike out there and move in one big group, but if there are parents that would like to assume a small group, you can let me know out there. If you have not indicated but decide that you are going to meet us out there, please let me know if possible. I believe our group is first at the learning stations at 10:30. Please pack your child lots of lunch and drinks. Rubber boots or appropriate shoe wear is important. Also, we will be outside the whole time, so make sure your child brings warm gear.
