March Break is approaching.

This week our spelling words are: was, around, tell, eat, think, our, gave, once, back, and straw.
Please see that your child is reading regularly each night. This is extremely important. We have been doing Aimsweb testing on reading comprehension and it would appear that a fair number of children are not reading at home.
This Friday everyone needs to remember to retrurn his/her library book if they have one checked out. We do not want any unnecessary fines.
I will send home the March Book orders this week and they will be due when we return on the 10th  of March.
This Wednesday night Feb. 26th, is Family Movie Night. FROZEN is playing here at school at 6:15-7:55 pm.
Have a great week and a safe and enjoyable March Break.

Short week....

This week your child's spelling words are numbers zero-ten. Since it is a four day week, we started our homework in school today. I have not seen all the Reading Logs in awhile. Please ask your child to make sure he/she brings it in, thank you. Please be reading every night :)
Still in the spirit of the Olympics, today was "Jersey" day, Wednesday is "Olympic Sport Day", and Thursday we are to wear red and white.
Lego Club is still going strong every Tuesday, with lots of participants.
Have a great week.

Projects and Valentines

We are in for a busy week. It will be a challenge fitting homework in..... maybe not. Our spelling words are: had, don't, some, them, by, very, old, went, another, and chug. Your child should have four different books tonight to read over the course of the week. If he/she doesn't, please see that he/she reads on from home and writes it in the Reading Log.
Thursday is Day 100. We have started presenting our 100 Day projects as they come in. We are also supporting the Sochi 2014 Olympics by wearing a different colour every day this week. Tuesday is "Black" day, Wednesday is "yellow" day, Thursday is "green" day and Friday is "red and white" day. The following week will have special days as well.
Friday we will exchange Valentine cards and have a few treats, if you would like to send something that would be lovely, we already have some drinks provided.
Have a good week and let's hope we have no snow days to throw off our schedule.

Day 100 is fast approaching!

This week our spelling words are: could, walk, has, take, of, laugh, drink, far, mother and trunk. Please encourage your child to read every night. Many of the students have moved up a level in their reading. Way to go!!
Book orders are due this Friday February 7th. ( I will call in the order Feb. 10th).
Many of the boys and girls are forgetting to return their library books on Friday, I am afraid fines will start accumulating.
Lego Construction Club will be on Tuesdays for students in grade 1 and 2 from 2:00-3:00 pm. They may go home on the 3:00 pm. bus but need to bring a note.
Please see the calendar in your child's agenda bag for the special days during the WinterOlympics.
Enjoy your week.
