April Fools!

Well, March is over and we're hopefully going to see some April showers to bring the May flowers! I know I'm ready for some green around here.
Spelling for the week is the same as last: there are 17 words here, and I'll choose 10 of them on Friday for the test. I will also have a sentence for the class from some of the other words on the list. Here are the words: the, be, all, a, there, mom, one, of, old, down, who, many, or, okay, want, would, does.
There seems to be a lot of sickness going around - just a heads-up for you - if your child is not well, the best place for him/her is at home.

Spring! at last...

Another unexpected day off last week, making a short week even shorter. We have done the spelling test for last week's words, and are catching up once again on the work we missed.
This week I will not be sending a regular batch of homework home, but rather a list of 17 words to study and a math sheet. I will choose ten words for the spelling test on Friday. The words are as follows: I, we, are, some, his, no, love, have, only, little, look, had, any before, because, should, goes.
Please remember to send snow pants, hats and mitts with your children - it is COLD on the playgound.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Spring and Easter!!!

Hi! All those holidays all in one week! WOW!!!!

New spelling words for the week: did, cut, twin, whale, wheel, white, whisper, what, when, whenever. As you can see, we are emphasizing the "wh" sound and words that begin with that sound this week. We also continue to talk about verb tense - past, present and future.

We will have our spelling test on Thursday this week. As well, I'd appreciate it if homework duotangs were returned by Thursday, so I can get them ready for the next week.

Have a good long weekend!

Time will fly!

Well, March Break is over - the time will really fly now. Before we know it report cards will be out and the year will be ending!

Spelling words for the week: bus, pot, swim, cube, tuen, used, excuse, little, down, useless.

We are beginning another unit in You and Your World on Tuesday, and will begin another Reading Club unit in two weeks time.

Keep on doing homework and bringing it back at the end of the week. All that extra that you do really helps!
