No sun in sight!

Grade Two Homework=
Spelling words, found in your child's agenda. The "special" words this week have a soft "g" sound as in "large". Please practice these words every night. Last week's spelling results were much better! Please see that your child answers questions in a "good" sentence, not just one or two words.(these are exercises where they are required to give a written answer)

May 13th - Backwards day
May 16th - Monday, Lego Club at the library

Happy Easter!

Yikes! Where has this week gone? We are halfway through this one as it is a four day week.
Miss Guptill is settling in to K-2 and we all welcome her, we miss Mrs. G.G. and wish her all the best.
We have had a busy week so far, here in K-2. Monday the boys and girls wore pedometres to keep track of the number of steps they took throughout the day. There were some surprising results. Grades 3-5 will be taking a turn tomorrow, as well as the teachers. The drama group performed their play Monday evening for the public. They did it for K-5 this morning and did a fine job. Off to the mainland to perform in St. Andrew's tomorrow. Bravo !! Many thanks to Mrs. Jones and Ms. Parker for all the hours they have dedicated to practices and to the boys and girls.
Grade Two- Please study those tricky spelling words every night, your test is Thursday. Be sure to bring in your homework early this week as there is no school on Friday.
Science East was a big success! The children really enjoyed the "hands-on" activities and most of them were able to get in for two visits.
Your child has brought home a packet with information on " jump rope for Heart and Stroke"( that's not quite the correct wording) but please check their agenda bags and you will see what I mean. Have a nice "long" weekend !
