Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. We are settling into our routines quite well and aren't so sleepy this week. Thank you parents for being so patient with the reams and reams of paper to read through. I know it is overwhelming to get so much information and then all the bookclub and magazine subscriptions too. A little reminder to please send in agenda money and your child's personal information sheet. Also we are asking for a loonie for the Terry Fox Run (walk) which we will all be participating in on Sept. 25th. K-2 just walk around the school a couple of times.
Grade Two homework went home for the first time this week. Please see that your child returns it on or before Friday, thanks to those who already have.Your child should be bringing home a book every night to read to you. I am so happy to see that they are printing their own titles and dates. There will be no spelling as such, for the next while.
The cafeteria should be up and running on Monday, Sept. 21st.
Enjoy the fallish weather. M. Cronk

Busy Week!
Another busy week is underway. Grade Two will not be having anymore homework, but of course everyone is expected to read everynight. The library has sent forms to us to send along to you about their summer reading program and also about a fun program called "Artrageous" (I think), that is happening this summer. Lots of fun activities are planned and there is no cost.
Thursday is our annual trip to the Anchorage Park. Hopefully we will have good weather, Friday is our raindate. We will leave at 11:00 and the buses will pick us up there to deliver us home at our regular time. Please be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat for your child. It is also a good idea to have your child's name on any toys or clothing. Things always tend to go missing, or show up and no one claims them. A hoodie or jacket would be a good idea too because we often get fog and/or wind. We will not be swimming.
Keep on reading and watch for fireflies, they should appear very soon. M. Cronk

June
Here it is Wednesday already! Things are definitely winding down.
Grade Two-
-This week grade 2 has one double-sided sheet for homework.
-There are ten spelling words in the agendas, PLEASE STUDY!
-Also, everyone needs to be reading nightly. I know everyone is busy, but we haven't had homework for two weeks and this is very important. I can really tell the difference in reading, with the boys and girls that read regularly and the ones who don't.Your child should have brought home a book, Miss Rumphius to read to you, at least a few pages to you, and the rest on his/her own.
Homeroom K-2
- Please remember to sign and return permission slips. There are a few Field Trips happening over the next couple of weeks.
Mrs. Jones has a link on her Blog with a short video of last Friday's events (Fun Day). Have a look.
Have a great week! M. Cronk

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!

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.
