Hi Eveyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had a fun weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

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.

Field Trip - On Wednesday September 22nd, our class will be going to Fletcher's Farm for a Field Trip. We will be walking to and from the farm. Students will need to bring their lunch on this day, as we will be eating when we get there. (Nothing that needs to be heated up please.) It would be a good idea to bring a water bottle too. Please dress for the weather. Remember to sign and return the orange permission slip in the yellow folders.

Homework/Reading - This week we continue to work on our sight word lists. Once your child knows all the words on both sides of the sheet, please sign it so I know you are ready for the next list. The orange homework folders should be returned to school each day. Students are sent home a new bag of books at the beginning of each week. There are 4 books in the bag and a log sheet. Your child should read one book each night and then record it on the log sheet. They can choose what book they want to read each night. It is okay to read the same book twice. The bag of reading books is returned to the school at the end of each week, so we can get new ones ready for the next week. The Sight Word Lists A-E have been uploaded to the Documents tab on our class page.

Literacy - As we get back into the school routine we are working on reading, word work and writing. It is important for the students to read each day, a book that is easy for them and that they can use their strategies to figure out unknown words. With word work we are working on beginning and end sounds and vowels, to make sure we know all of our sounds. We are gradually getting back to writing every day. We started out with one sentence and are now writing two sentences about a topic or idea. If the students are able to they can write more. We will keep adding on to our sentences. Adding a picture is a good way to add detail to our ideas.

Math - We are working on counting by 1s to 25 and backwards from 25. Counting by 2s to 20 and backwards from 20. Counting by 10s to 100 and backwards from 100. As well we are working on patterns and comparing and ordering numbers to 25.

Have a fantastic week !

WELCOME BACK!!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back to a new school year!! Also a special welcome to new families to our school! We are happy to have you here!! It is hard to believe that the summer has come and gone! I hope that everyone had a fun and restful vacation.

Our class page will be updated weekly. Make sure you check back each week to find out what is happening at our school and what we have been doing in our class.

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this year are on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday with Mrs. Dickson.

Library - Our library day will be on Thursday and this will start next week. The students will be able to sign out a book to take home each week.

Agendas/Yellow Folders - The students will be bringing home a yellow folder with their agenda each day. I will be using the folders to send memos, notices and permission slips. I would also ask that you use the folder to return signed items in as needed. You can use the parent side on the agenda page if you have a note for me or send one in the folders. These will be sent home each day and are to be returned the next day so we have them to use. There are different memos and permission slips going home this week.

Homework/Reading Programs - These will be starting next week, Monday to Thursday. A Memo will be going home next Monday to outline both programs.

Home Learning Kits - We will be sending Home Learning Kits soon. These are only to be used in the event of a school shut down because of Covid-19 Protocols and we have to move to On-line/At Home Learning. A memo will be going home with the kit to explain the use. I would ask that they be left in the students bookbags and only taken out if needed. That way we can add items to the kit if needed.

Cafeteria - The cafeteria menu for the month of September went home this week. We take the cafeteria orders in the morning so staff knows how much food to prepare. There will be a menu going home for each month. Some items are served every day, but the main meal and soup choices change daily, so please check the menu.

School Picture Day - Picture day for our school is on Tuesday September 14th. This is for all students K-8. Make sure to wear your smile!

Student/Agenda Fee - The student/agenda fee for K-2 students is $10.00. Please send this in when you can if you have not already done so. There is a maximum charge of $40.00/family. (K-2 - $10.00/ 3-5 - $20.00/ 6-8 - $30.00 - Maximum - $40.00/family)

We had a great first day and are looking forward to a wonderful year!!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hello Everyone!

In Math we have word problems with 2-Digit numbers, adding and subtracting with and without regrouping. Use the strategy that works best for you. There is also an activity on increasing patterns. An increasing pattern goes up by the same amount each time. We have been learning lots of strategies to help with reading comprehension. Use these strategies to help with the story. Read carefully and answer the questions. Make sure you read your book each night and record it on the log sheet.

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back! I hope you had a fun long weekend! We are back to a 5 day week.

Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Library - Our library day is on Tuesday, so 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. Our spelling words focus on compound words. Putting together two smaller words, to make one word. The word work activity is on this as well. When you are writing your sentences, make sure to tell good details and begin and end your sentences properly. With Earth Day coming up this week, we are finding out about ways we can help take care of our planet. The reading comprehension story is about Earth Day. Remember to read the story twice, highlight or underline the answers in the story and circle the right answer. In math we are doing more work with mental math strategies to help with adding and subtracting and continue to work on counting in different ways from different starting points. Use your strategies to solve the number problems, then use the chart to break the code and reveal an Earth Day message. Make sure you read your book each night and record it on the log sheet.

Literacy/ Math For Home - This week I am sending home: Math strategies and fact sheet; number line and 100 chart; sight word sheets. These are for you to keep at home and work on and use for the rest of the year. The Grade 2 Sight Word list is one that I sent home earlier in the year, but am resending. Lists #3 & #4 are new lists. You will notice that some words are repeated from other lists that we had, but it is good practice, to make sure they know them well. The math strategies are ones we have been using at school, so you have an idea of what the students are working on and how they are solving addition and subtraction number sentences. We will be starting 2 digit addition and subtraction next month, knowing the strategies will help with this.

Earth Day - Earth Day is on Thursday April 22nd. We are reading, writing and doing art work about ways we can help to take care of our planet. You can wear blue and or green on this day to help celebrate. If possible try to bring a litterless lunch. We are trying to throw out as little garbage as we can on that day. Every little bit helps!

Have a fabulous week!
