Short week.

It has been a while since I've blogged. We really have been plodding along with our work and making good headway. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend and is now ready to settle down to a three day week.
Homeroom K-2 - nothing new to report here.
Please remember that our "Library Day" is Wednesday. Your child may have a book that is over due. It would be a good idea to check with him or her.

Grade Two-
We will begin our Literacy Assessment this Thursday, May 22nd. Please try to keep healthy and well rested. We will finish up May 30th.
There will be no written homework this week. Please continue to read though. M. Cronk

Earth Day April 22nd

Nothing too out of the ordinary this week, so far.
Grade Two-
The boys and girls got a headstart on their homework this morning. Our spelling words are: such,truck,home,froze,foal,stone,toast,snowball,fifteen and sixteen. The last couple of weeks, we have done very well in spelling. Keep up the good work boys and girls! Please continue with your nightly reading, bring your little blue books on Friday.
We are working on "time", please talk about this with your children. Ask them at different times through the day, what the time is.
Earth Day is this week. Really every day should be Earth Day. You would be so proud of your children if you could see them on the playground voluntarily picking up garbage.

K-2
There will be an assembly this Friday in the Great Hall at 9:00 am. All are welcome.
Have a great week. M. Cronk

Trouting season begins!

Have a great week! M. Cronk

Spring???

Hello everyone.I hope you are all managing to keep these "new" germs away.

K-2
~ Your child will most likely have a book to read to you from "Reading club" (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
~ the playground has been very wet so rubber boots really are a necessity


Grade Two
~ regular homework, due Tuesday
~ ten spelling words, listed in your child's agenda
~ nightly reading and recording of titles (VERY IMPORTANT)

* Report Cards
Report cards will be going home early next week, April 7th or 8th.
Parent/Teacher Interviews will be held on Thursday evening, April 10th from 6:30-8:00
and Friday morning (April 11th) from 9:00-12:00.
This year, when you arrive, you will be able to put your name down for your ten minute appointment. The sign-up sheet will be outside your child's classroom. We are hoping to avoid the long wait that many of you have had to endure in the past. This should allow you to visit with other teachers if you like, and not miss your spot.We always look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress. Until then, M. Cronk

Another short week!

Hello to you all out there in Bloggerland. Well winter is still with us, or so it seems. At least the days are longer.
Homeroom K-2
Tuesday March 18th- Egg Stravaganza at the library, from 1:50- 2:50, egg decorating and snacks.

The regular homework was started in school on Monday so it shouldn't take long
to finish up.
Spelling Test on Thursday, no school on Friday (Good Friday)
This week's list:

Please pay special attention to the "ch" words which have a "hard" sound.

That's it for this week. M. Cronk

March Madness

Hello everyone. We are well into another month. I trust you have all had a restive and/or exciting March Break.Time is passing quickly. Before you know it, report cards will be going home. There isn't quite as much homework as usual this week. Grade two will have their regular spelling test on Friday. The focus this week is on "air" words. Grade two will also be working on "plurals" and addition of two-digit numbers.We have started a unit on "mass". We will be doing a lot of measuring and weighing this next little while. Please encourage your child to look at the kilograms printed on different food items, such as sugar, flour, peanut butter, etc..
We will be learning about our "community" in "You and Your World" over the next couple of weeks and then we will continue working with our Reading Club.

The weather is still cold as you well know. Please don't forget to send hats and mittens with your little ones.
This coming Friday there is a movie playing in the cafeteria. There is a notice in your child's agenda with the details. Keep your eyes open for signs of spring. Until next week, M. Cronk.

March Break approaching!

Whew! February has been a very busy month, what with speeches, Valentine's Day and Day 1oo! I think we are all ready for a break.
Homeroom
~ You may want to come in and check our "Lost and Found" tubs, i
f your child is missing any items of clothing.
~ We have birthday greetings for Isaac Sampson, who has a birthday on February 28th and to Brooke-Lynne Mullen who is celebrating on February 29th, our Leap Year baby.
~ Bookorders went home today but I won't send them in until after the break, probably March 11th or thereabouts.

Grade Two
~ Only spelling words and two sheets of homework this week.
~ Please do keep reading nightly. You are doing a fantastic job grade two. Almost half of our class has read over a hundred books (each of you). Very impressive!
~ Tell your families about the Free Verse poetry we are working on. Write a poem for them, it really is fun. Write about anything!

Have a great March Break! See you all after the Break! M Cronk
