Thank you to all of you that sent back your parent surveys already. It has been so wonderful to read through them and hear about all the fantastic kids in our class and their talents. I appreciate you taking the time to fill them out. We have another busy week ahead!
A Peek At Our Week . . .
Starting this week we will be reviewing our reading strategies starting with stretchy snake. This strategy helps us to stretch out letter sounds and then put them together to read words. When reading with your child have them try to stretch out small words such as and, sat, can etc. Gr.2s should also be using this strategy when they come across more challenging vocabulary words in their reading.
We are finishing up our class book on the beautiful fall leaves we are seeing outside. We are trying to use descriptive words to paint a picture of what the leaves look, sound and feel like. We cannot wait to have it in our library!
We are also starting our printing books to review proper letter formation as well as letter sounds. Ask your child if they are a flexy or a traditional hand grip. Then they can show you how they should hold their pencil.
In math we are continuing to look at patterns and the different ways that we can show them. We will also be looking at increasing patterns this week.
Permission forms for Terry Fox and the corn maze went home last week. Please return those ASAP. I will am still looking for some volunteers for the Terry Fox Run.
Please make sure you are checking your child’s agenda every night for forms in the back pocket and initialing the daily message. If they have a signature they get to stamp their agenda every morning.

Terry Fox Run - This is the 35th annual run, and we are meeting with other schools at Henderson Lake to participate! What a great way to celebrate one of our national heros while spending some time in the fresh air. We are combining our Terry Fox Day with our first school Spirit Day! Students are encouraged to wear red and white today!
Coming Up . . .
October 7 - Corn maze field trip in AM. We will leave at 9:00am. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather and has a lunch that they can eat at the maze easily.
Also just a reminder that I have set up the option to sign up for blog updates via email. Enter your email address on the right hand side of the blog, and you should receive an email when the blog is updated.
I will be sending out a email this week to everyone to make sure all emails are working.
