Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is to write a story in the homework writing journal. The writing assignment is to write a story (fiction or non-fiction) about the snail image stamped into the journal. There is also a math worksheet for students to practise their math addition facts using “counting on” strategies. This homework is due on Thursday, October 5th (since Friday is a P. A. Day).


REMINDER…In our program, there is DAILY and WEEKLY homework. DAILY homework is to study our weekly Word Wall Words (spelling), each day, in preparation for the test each Friday. Each Monday, your child writes the assigned words into his/her agenda. Your child must also read for 20 minutes (or more) every day. WEEKLY homework is made up of a language activity and a math activity and is assigned each Friday. The weekly homework is due to be handed in on the following Friday.


NOTE TO PARENTS 


  1. CURRICULUM NIGHT is TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3…It begins at 6:00 and, to accommodate families with several children, the evening is divided into 3 time blocks so parents can rotate to different classrooms. The time blocks begin at 6:00, 6:25 and 6:50 and the evening ends at 7:15. There will also be community information booths set up in the second floor gym, for you to visit. I hope to see you in Room 204 to learn more about the grade 2 program!
  2. Thank you to all the parents that have volunteered for our field trip next Wednesday. We now have enough volunteers.
