May 30, 2011


Flat People
Flat People are making their return to our classroom! As requested, I have moved the bulletin board into the hallway so that everyone can see all the exciting photographs and letters. In the classroom there is also a binder full of items that we have received in the mail. Feel free to drop by to take a closer look!
Nordale Play
A student group at Nordale school has put together a play based on Snow White. We will be going to see the play on Tuesday, May 31, in the afternoon. If you haven’t already sent in the permission form please do so ASAP.
Science
Our current unit about The Growth and Changes of Living Things is proving to be an exciting unit! This week we will focus on the needs of and different types of plants. We are planting seeds so that we can watch the process happen. The bean plants will be sent home in a couple of weeks. If you choose to replant them at home you should have beans of your own to enjoy!
Reading Records
Reading homework is the most important homework assigned to Grade 1 and 2 students. Reading is a skill which must be practiced on a daily basis. The number of students handing in reading records has significantly dropped during the last month. So, for the month of June each student will be given a Reading BINGO card to complete. For each line (vertical or horizontal) completed students can earn a prize. The more lines they complete, the more reading prizes they will receive!
