Week 4!

We are continuing to work on our writing skills using adjectives, nouns and verbs.

As part of Daily 5 we Worked on Writing in our classroom journals.

 We check each writing piece for S.W.A.G

 We use our Word Wall when we need to remind ourselves how to spell some Rule Breaker Words.

 Students use their sound friends to help spell decodable words.

 We also use a dictionary to help us spell.

 Each week we add our word work words to our dictionary.

In math we worked on sorting items by characteristics.

We also worked on creating patterns.

We celebrate jobs well done and expected grade two behaviours with quarters.  Once a student has earned a dollar (four quarters) they can cash in for a reward.

We practiced our bus evacuation this week.

Mrs.  Morgan came to help us learn how to log on to and off of our Chromebooks.

Mr.  Walker came to share with us St. Teresa of Calcutta's message of doing "small things with great love".

We have had a nasty flu virus move through the class.  I was very ill on Thursday night as were several students who didn't make it to school on Friday.  Please emphasize the importance of staying healthy through hand washing as we move into the cold and flu season.

Please be aware that Picture Day is Tuesday, Sept. 27th.

We will be going on our first field trip of the year to Prairie Gardens.  Please make sure students have a disposable lunch.  Also, much of the day is spent outside so please ensure students are dressed for fall weather.

We are still in need of volunteers for this trip.  Please email me if you can attend.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please don't hesitate to ask.
