Gr. 2 Literacy Assessment/ Carnival

Yikes! You know life is busy when...you haven't blogged in a month!
This week is Spring Carnival Week. Your children have brought home schedules outlining the various events that are taking place. Friday will probably be the most exciting day as we will be going on the "inflatables", having hotdogs and other treats and watching the movie "Bolt". Please make sure you have signed the permission slip if your child wants to participate.
On another note, the grade two students are doing their Literacy Assessment. Please have your child tucked into bed early so they he/she is in top form. There is a comprehension component and a writing section. It is time consuming and rather intensive. Everyone seems to be trying their best and hopefully we will finish up on Friday. I have not sent homework this week as I think the boys and girls are pretty tired come the end of the day. I have asked them to do some reading however and expect them to do a little each night.
The next few weeks will be very busy, things are winding down. Have a great week!
