December approaches.

Welcome parents, guardians and students. It's hard to believe November is almost over. This is an exciting week in grade two as we have a visitor from District Office. Mrs. Sylvia McConkey, our K-2 math mentor has been working with us. The boys and girls have been working with tangrams and learning some very interesting things about these ancient Chinese puzzles. Be sure to ask them about this.
Homework is due Friday as usual. Our math homework focuses on place value this week. Also, please get an early start on your space stories, I'm anxious to read them. Spelling is a bit trickier this week with five silent "w" words, but I know you can do it!
Chloe Best has headed off to Newfoundland. We are certainly going to miss her and her many insect friends. We wish her all good things in her new school. I'm sure she will have lots of adventures to share with us via e-mail. We'll be waiting Chloe! We miss you.
My homeroom class is doing well. You can't imagine how much the kindergarteners have learned already! Some are even starting to write sentences. I am also positive that our class sings O'Canada with the most gusto. Keep up the great work boys and girls! All for now,
M. Cronk

Start of lobster season.

Hello to everyone.
Grade Two - We have a short week but same amount of homework. We are finishing up our first list of "no excuse" spelling words, thirteen words for Friday. Please be reading every night grade two, try reading poetry or a magazine for a change, mix it up.
Homeroom - We have a busy week coming up next week. We have our anti-bullying presentation and then we have a special show by the Maritime Marionettes. Please bring $2.00 for that. Enjoy the week. Remember to look at the cup "half full" as opposed to being " half empty" but of course be prepared for that to upset from time to time. And keep on singing. M.Cronk
