Days are lengthening.

This is a busy time in K-2 these next few weeks. As you probably know, there will be school this Friday, Feb.13th. Our "Day 100" projects are starting to arrive and I know some of you are working on your speeches. Oh yes, and we will be exchanging Valentines on Wednesday the 11th.
The grade two spelling words are: club, flag, phone, photo, dolphin, elephant, sphere, alphabet, niece and nephew. Homework is due on or before Friday and please be reading every night.
Last week we had a visitor in grade two. Mr.Wayne Clifford,a published poet, came to talk to us about writing poetry. He wrote a poem especially for us which we hope to illustrate this week. We also started another one together and will invite him back to see the finished product. We all enjoyed his visit and show great promise as poets. Until next week, stay warm and keep reading! M.
