Lots of important stuff to read....sorry this is a long post!!!

Today we got new spelling words. They are:

We will have a 10 word Spelling Review this Friday with last weeks and this weeks words.

In PE we are continuing to work on throwing and catching. This is a great evening activity to do with your child. Remember when throwing, your opposite foot from your throwing arm is forward. For example, I throw with my right hand, so I take a step forward with my left foot!

We read a story about Spring and continued to discuss, Text-to-Text, Text-to-Self and Text-to-World. Ask your child what one of these means.

In Math we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes! We made a shape today. Ask your child what the shape is. Your child's homework is to find a shape in your home that is the same as the shape they made. If it is recyclable, they can bring the shape to school, otherwise, please take a picture and email me! milnelson@cbe.ab.ca

Please continue to READ READ READ for our Reading: Give it a Shot! Calgary Flames program. By now I'm sure you've seen your child with a hockey card or two! They get 1 card for every 100 minutes they read! I include minutes at school, but to earn more cards they must read at home as well. Everything counts! Read them the newspaper, your favourite book or have them read to you! It all counts. Please use the form I sent home to record their minutes!

If you have any extra books you are no longer using we have 2 great programs that could use them!!!
1) Wee Reads Parent Council Book Drive - these books will be sold as a fundraiser for the Wee Reads Program. A notice was sent home last week.
2) Our Community Library Box in the front foyer of our school. You can look in there for a book you may like or leave your books for others to enjoy!
