Good evening parents. Hope everyone is having a great night. I can’t believe that week two is almost over! Time is going by way too fast, but our class is starting to really come together. I am sorry that I have not given the students the “Snuggle Up and Read” binders yet. These past 2 weeks have been pretty hectic so we will start this program on Monday. Thanks for your understanding. Here is a look at our day;

UOI:

Grade 1:

We did an awesome activity today for our UOI. As you know we are talking about Relationships, Responsibility, and Rules. Students were given a variety of situations they needed to act out, and what they would do as a parent or child. We presented and discussed skits together as a class.

NO HOMEWORK

Grade 2:

The grade two’s discussed cities, provinces, and countries. They located our community on a map as a class. Students also began to write letters to families who do not live in their community. They had to tell them what to pack with them in relation to our community. This was a great activity for them as their imaginations were really able to run wild.

NO HOMEWORK

Math:

Grade 1

Students practiced formation of 0-9, wrote e two digit numbers and practiced their place value system. They also drew objects to represent words, listened to word problems and wrote addition sentences. Many children finished this in class, so if they do not have their textbook, then their work is completed.

Homework: Arithmetic 1 = A – pg. 13-15

Grade 2

The grade two’s worked on odd and even numbers, reading a graph, and the definition of doubles. They all did a fabulous job and finished their homework in the classroom.

Language

Grade 1:

I am focusing on getting students to remember the formation of a sentence, and the importance of adding details to it. We did more examples on the board and then the students practicing their skills in the “Letters and Sounds Notebooks”. Again, if the children do not have their textbooks, then they completed it in class.

Homework:

Letters and Sounds = LS – pg. 7 & 8

Grade 2:

In grade two, we also went over the structure of proper sentences, since I have noticed that they are leaving out important information. We also went over the definition of blends and practiced them as a class.  They continued to work on this in their “Letters and Sounds Textbook.” If they completed it in class, then they have no homework.

Homework:

Letters and Sounds = LS – PG. 5 & 6

Cursive Writing:

Both grades got time in class to trace and practice their cursive writing.

NO HOMEWORK

Spelling:

The spelling test for both grades is tomorrow. Please reviews some of these words with your children. Thanks

Have a great night!
