Week of Feb.5th- 9th

• I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
• Our spelling words will stay the same as last week.  I didn't have enough time with these words and prefixes and suffixes are a very important principle that I would like to have some more time with.
• Students are continuing to work on their Explanatory writing pieces throughout this week.  Their topic is "My Fav. dessert."  We have decided on the due date of Tuesday, February 13th for the good copy. I will have their rubric to them by mid-week and they should be reading their piece aloud at home to be sure it sounds the best it can.
• Congratulations to the 3's and 4's for winning the PEI Sumdog math contest!  We have won a subscription for 6 months.  This site is a great way for students to practice math at home!  They set a goal.....and achieved it. Way to go!
• We will be having a students teacher start with us next week.  Her name is Sara Paynter and she is currently attending UPEI.  She will be with our class until March 13.
• There will be art lessons being offered by Maurice Bernard in the upcoming weeks. Check the school website for more information.
• A reminder for each student to be filling out their nightly reading log.
• Have a great week everyone!
