Every day should be "Earth Day".

Just a few things this week.
Grade Two-
Please remember to be working on your spelling words this week. I expect you to go over them every night and you don't really need help to do this. (Spelling words are in agendas). Go over them and then write them down on a piece of paper and mark your own, get in the habit of doing this and you will be amazed at how good you'll feel to be able to do this independently. Please be reading fifteen minutes or more every night too. Homework duotangs are due Friday.
Our K-5 drama Club will be performing their play at 9:00 am on May 5th for the Elementary school and at 6:00 pm that evening for the public. The evening performance is $5.00 per person and $10.00 per family. May 7th they will be going to Quispamsis.
Next Thursday, April 30th and Friday May 1st there is no school. Teachers will be attending Subject Council in Moncton.

Trouting Season begins!

Here we are Wednesday already.
Time is zipping by!
Grade Two:
- Only three pages of homework along with spelling words for Fri. test.
- The grade two Literacy Assessment is the end of May and early June. The boys and girls will be reading several short stories independently and answering multiple choice questions. They need to be reading every night in order to prepare for this. Please ask them questions about what they are reading and have them predict how the story may end. Stop midway through a chapter or story and discuss what your child has read. Just 15-20 minutes a night can make such a huge difference in your child's success as a reader.
- Reading Club, we are learning about octopuses. Ask your child about these amazing creatures.
Enjoy your week and the springish weather.
