Welcome to my Grade Two Blog. Here I will list the weekly homework , upcoming events and various "goings-on". This week our spelling words are: like, cat, to, and, dog, I'm, rock, sock, dock and clock. Our spelling test is usually on Friday. Homework is due on or before Friday. Please see that your child is reading every night. There is a letter regarding this in the homework duotang.
Thank you for working your way through all the paper work in your child's agenda and returning it. Just a reminder that there are still a few more forms to come back along with the student fee, $10.00 or $20.00, depending if you choose to pay for half a year now or the full year. Please check your child's head for lice. Unfortunately they have survived yet another season.
Also, if your child is going some where other than home or to the "Club", please be sure to include the civic address of the home they are going to. The office makes up the bus lists and they do not have time to look them all up. Sometimes we have drivers "filling in" from away and they need these addresses.
This Friday there is a movie playing at GMCS Cinema. Check your child's agenda for the name and time. Have a great week!

Last Week for Homework!
This week our spelling words are: pool, camping, summer, fall, autumn, spring, winter, beach, school and swimming. All you readers out there, keep on reading! As a class we have read well over 1000 books, great job.
This is another busy week and still some testing going on. Friday, June 14th is Field Day. Please send sunscreen and a hat with your child. We will be outside most of the day. A note went home in agendas today. Parents are welcome to come and watch the events. It will be the last day for the cafeteria, but we will be eating in our rooms as it looks like K-8 will be all eating at the same time, it would be "crazy" in the cafeteria!
Our class trip to the Anchorage Park is scheduled for Tuesday, June 18th, rain date 20th. Please have permission slips signed and returned by this Friday. Wednesday, June 19th the students will be dismissed at 10:40 for the Graduation ceremony. Friday June 21st is also a half day, not yet sure what time buses will be leaving. Things are winding down quickly!

June is approaching fast. We are underway with our literacy assessment. Everyone is working hard. Hopefully we will all stay healthy and rested.
Our spelling words this week are: every, these, hold, done, both, show, well, those, wash and because. Please check with your child to see that he/she is reading every night. We have had a few more students pass the "one hundred books club", great job!
Friday, May 31st is the beginning of Spring Carnival for K-5. We start off with a movie in the morning and the inflatables in the afternoon. There will be NO CAFETERIA on this day. It is also "beach day" that day. Have a great week.

Upcoming Literacy Assessment
Time is certainly passing quickly. We did get a start on our homework in class today so hopefully no one will be feeling overwhelmed.
This week's words are: their, start, kind, hurt, pick, only, so, been, clean and right. The class is doing well overall with the two-digit addition with regrouping. Many of the children have come up with their own strategies for adding, if it works, then "leave them to it".
Our Literacy Assessment begins on Thursday the 23rd. I'm sure you know the children do much better when they are well rested. Hopefully they will be healthy and "ready to go", come Thursday. It is really important that they be here first thing in the morning as we start shortly after 9:00 and work in 45 minute sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, every day until the 30th. We do the reading comprehension first and then work on our writing, fun, fun, fun.
The Carnival orders/ money are due Friday 24th.
Until next time...

Wonderful Weather!
This weather is most welcome! We have a four day week this week and next. Friday most of the teachers are travelling to the mainland for Subject Council. Monday May 6th teachers have GMTA in the morning followed by Professional Development in the afternoon. This makes it a bit of a rush with homework but the students are quite used to this by now. The spelling words are in their agendas and duotangs as usual. Please encourage your child to read every day/night. They are all doing well but it is so easy to regress if they slip back into not reading regularly.
Ask your child about the school garden. Mr.s Angie Russell has some wonderful plans in the works and we have planted some marigolds for a little plot out in front of the school. If you have anything in the gardening line (tools, pots, etc.) that you would like to donate to the school, it would be greatly appreciated.
