This week our spelling words are : all, here, big, is, little, most, cap, map, tap and trap. As you can see we are learning the "ap" family. Please see that your child is reading regularly. There is no substitute for a nightly reading routine and hopefully a bedtime story.
Friday, September 27th is our annual Terry Fox Run here at school. The little ones walk around the school a couple of times, rain or shine. If it should rain, please see that your child has boots and a raincoat. They brought home information about this today.
Elementary Drama for grades K-5 starts Thursday, Oct. 17th. They may be picked up in the Great Hall at 2:45 pm or can go on the bus at 2:50 pm.
Have a great week.

Last week of summer......
Well we are getting into the "swing" of things. Our spelling words this week are: the, not, you, want, do, man, track, pack, lock and block. In math we are learning about patterns. Ask your child to look for some around the house, in a magazine,etc.
Please remember to see that your child is reading every night. The boys and girls are doing a fantastic job writing the date and titles in their Log Books. Way to go class!
It looks like the chicken pox virus is on the go, just a "heads up".
Have a good week.

Days are shortening.......
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!

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...
