September 1 - September 24




Things in grade 2/3 are moving along quite nicely. We have established some very important routines and have gotten to know a bit about each other.

In math the grade 2's have finished their unit on Patterns. Ask them about their test scores. We had a test on the first day of school and a test at the end of our unit. The kids were all very excited to see their growth!

We are still building stamina with Daily 5. Our Read to Self is at 15 minutes, Read to Someone is at 15 minutes and Work on Writing is at 10 minutes. We are working on some comprehension strategies when reading. We are also working on conventions (capitals, periods, etc) in our writing.

I will try to update this blog every Friday so make sure you check in to see what is going on in our classroom.

Please write the word "NOODLES" in our child's agenda so that I know you have read this!!

Important dates to remember:
Sept 30: Terry Fox Run
Oct 1: Grade 3's Basketball Clinic
Oct 1: Book orders due.
