February

It is chilly out there!
This week the Grade two spelling words are: play, father, use, mice, side, wink, flight, fine, now and drink. Please study these words until you know them well. I am pleased with the last few week's spelling test results. Keep up the good work! Everyone needs to be reading a book or a chapter every night. Make sure it is "just right" for you.
We have an exciting event planned for Friday February 4th. At 10:00 am., parents of K-2 and grade five, are invited to a French Culture Assembly in the Great Hall.
(Grandparents are welcome too). It will last approximately one hour.
Also Scholastic Book orders are due Friday but I will wait until next Monday to send the order.
February 9th we have Theatre New Brunswick coming to perform. This is always exciting and anticipation is already in the air. The cost is $3.00/child. Thank you to those who have sent in their money.
Have a great week everyone.

Pink Week

Friday November 26th, grade two will be having a 15 word spelling test. The words are in your child's homework duotang and are words the class has already studied. Please review these words with your child.
Please read nightly and remind your child to copy the titles of books or chapters into the yellow log book.
This week is PINK WEEK. Our school is taking a stand against bullying. There are various events scheduled for the week. Friday, things will wrap up with the presentation of the pink T-shirts, a group photo of the entire school population, and a K-12 Assembly at 1:10pm. The public is welcome to attend our "Pink Celebration".
Grade Two was very fortunate to have a visitor last week. Dorothy McLaughlin's Dad Shane brought in a lobster trap, two "live" lobsters, a huge claw from a twenty pounder caught years ago and an assortment of bait pockets, measuring tools,etc.. He gave us a very informative talk on how the lobsters get "trapped" and explained the different parts of the trap and how they work. A big "thank you" from the class Mr. McLaughlin and to Dorothy too. We all enjoyed your visit.
Have a great week everyone.
