Happy Hallowe'en!
We are in for another busy week. Wednesday afternoon all the little "goblins" in K-2 will be going from room to room for different stations. They may wear costumes if they like.
I see we have two birthdays this month. Alison Russell celebrates her special day November 21st and Sumner Wilcox will be celebrating on November 13th. Happy Birthday you two!
The weather has certainly changed. Please make sure your child has warm clothing. The playground can be quite cold in the morning, being in the shade. If it is windy, then it is even a few degrees colder again. You might want to double check to see that your child's name is on hats, mitts, boots and well anything that they can take off.
Grade two is reading voraciously and that makes their teacher verrry happy!
Our K-2 class is doing a terrific job keeping the hallway near their hooks tidy and they are doing better at remembering to bring in their agendas from their bookbags.
Could my K-2 homeroom students please bring in a toonie this week for an anti- bullying presentation that is coming up? Thankyou.
Our Homework Lunch Program is underway this week, Monday and Wednesday.
Be safe and enjoy every single day. Mrs. Cronk

Can you believe this weather?
Hello to parents and students. Welcome to those of you who are new to the Homework Blog and to everyone else too.
Homeroom K-2- the boys and girls have brought home little booklets on Fire Safety. There are some great things for you to go over with your child and some pictures for them to colour. I put a badge/sticker in the front pocket of their agendas.
Grade Two- We have our regular homework this week along with a 30 word spelling test on Friday. I will be choosing words from our weekly spelling tests. These should not need much study, as these words are from the "end of the year list for grade one ". They have been doing well with them.
Math- we have started a unit on Solid Shapes and of course any extra counting of change and
mental math is always helpful.
Friday morning at 9:00 there is a K-2 assembly. Remember, " knowledge is power"- have a super week!

Short week!
Hello everyone. I trust you all enjoyed the extended weekend.
Grade Two
- Please study your new spelling words. *I would like you to also write a good sentence for each word. Remember, always start your sentence with a capital letter and use the proper punctuation. I will put looseleaf in your homework duotangs. Print neatly please, don't forget the letters that hang below the line.
- Also, parents please sign your child's math quiz and have them correct any mistakes. Make sure all corrections have been done in the duotang, you are all doing well at this, keep up the good work.
- We now have six pictures of some of you and your grandparents- keep those photos coming.
- Make sure you have a great book to read to someone every night. If you would like a chapter book, just let me know.
Picture retakes are the 18th, so all picture proofs are due on Wed. the 17th. That's it for now. Mrs. Cronk

Short week
This school week is a four day week. I trust you all had a lovely weekend and got your fill of turkey, ham or as Clein told me, moose meat.

The grade two class did quite well with the quiz on "doubles" and "magic numbers". Good job! You will find these strategies quite helpful as you add and subtract bigger numbers. We have had a few photographs come in of boys and girls with their grandparents. These are very special and we will begin writing our class book this week.
Homeroom-

Picture Orders are due Wed. Oct. 17th.

October is here.
Hello students and parents. Nothing too new in K-2 Cronk this week. Our Evacuation Practice went well today. The boys and girls did a fine job walking right along to the Stone Church. A big "thank-you" to the grade 12 students who came along to assist.
My grade 2 students are working very hard and doing a great job with their writing. We are beginning a unit on "grandparents". We have been reading books about children and their grandparents and if you have any photos they could bring in to share, or any stories, that would be great. Homework continues much the same. I hope everyone is still working on those "doubles" and "magic numbers". Friday we will have a little quiz on them. Grade Two is doing an incredible job with their nightly reading and with their weekly spelling. May it continue.
Friday, K-2 will be walking around the school twice for the Terry Fox Run. Thank-you for sending in your loonies. Enjoy the rest of your week. Mrs. Cronk
