Last week of September already!?

Hello families of 2E!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Things have been busy over here in Room 10 and they're only going to get busier!

We had our first spelling test on Friday and I'm so proud to say that the ENTIRE CLASS did very well! 10 new spelling words will go home on Monday, along with their new homework that is due on Thursday.  On Tuesday, please make sure to check agendas for the 5 new sight words.  You'll notice that the homework program doesn't include the 5 sight words in the activities.  It is up to you to practise the 5 sight works every week with your 2E'r.  Whether it's making flashcards, sentence writing, or oral repitition- whatever works for your child!
Homework is marked and sent home on Friday, that includes the mark they got on their spelling test.  I've written their mark out of 10 for their spelling words, and a mark out of 5 for their sight words.  That way, you know which group of words they're struggling with.  If you'd like to know specifically which words they are getting incorret, I can email you that as well.

We are almost finished with our reading comprehension tests to see exactly what level each student is on, and when that is finished HOME READING will be sent home. Every second week, students will bring home their journals to share a letter with you that they have written. Please make sure you write back to your Grade 2er, and that the journal gets returned to school the next day. The students absolutely love writing to people at home as it's like giving parents homework!  Thank you for your help here! 

Thank you to those parents who have signed up for Class Party Snacks! There are still a few spots left, so if you can't make it in ask your Grade 2er to sign you up for something and we'll make sure a note goes home. 

We're gearing up for our field trip this THURSDAY OCTOBER 30TH to the Galt! Remember, students will be eating lunch in the class that day as we leave promptly at 1230.  Please make sure they have a lunch packed and we will notifiy blast for those enrolled at lunch time. 

Thanks for checking the blog!
