Grade 2 News October 4 - October 8

Posted: October 4, 2021

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had a fun and restful weekend! It is hard to believe that we are into the month of October!

Phys. Ed- Our Phys. Ed days this week are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Library - Our library day is on Thursday. Make sure you bring your book back so you can sign out another one.

Homework/Reading - The homework for the week is listed in the orange folders. This week we are starting work on our Word Work and Math activities. There is one to do each night. Just a reminder that this is work we are doing in class, so your child should be able to do it, and it gives you an idea of what we are working on. We will continue with work on sight words for the next 2 weeks. If you have already done the 8 sheets, a new grade 2 list will go home this week. It has also been uploaded to the documents section on our class page. With Word Work we are working on beginning and ending sounds and vowels. In Math, we are working on counting by 1s/ 2s and 10s; patterns and comparing and ordering numbers to 25. Please remember to read a book each night and record it on the log sheet. Just a reminder that the bag of reading books is due back on Friday.

Literacy - We continue to work on our reading, writing and word work to help build our literacy skills. We are getting better with our sight words. Remember, these will help us with our reading and writing. We continue to work on our vowels and sounds and making sure that every word has a vowel in it. When we write our sentences, we use the words we know, add details and make sure our sentences begin and end properly. Adding a picture adds more detail.

Math - We have started working on increasing patterns and continue to work on comparing and ordering numbers to 25 and counting forwards and backwards by 1s, 2s and 10s.

Thanksgiving Dinner - The cafeteria will be serving a turkey dinner for lunch on Thursday October 7th. This is the only meal being served on this day. 

Terry Fox Walk - Our school will be participating in the annual Terry Fox School Walk on Friday October 8th. Please bring a donation if you can.

Masks and Water Bottles - Just a reminder to bring your water bottle and 2 clean masks each day.

No School - Monday October 11th is Thanksgiving Day and there is no school.

Wishing all of my students and their families a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Enjoy your time together.

Have a fabulous week!
