Dear Grade 1/2 Parents,

Spelling – List #14 – Test Friday

New Year - New Units – Last week we did a number of New Year’s activities to settle back into routine.  We studied words, learned about goals, practiced time on the clock, and practiced antonyms, compound words, and homophones. 

This week we are beginning several new units.  We are moving ahead in Math, Science, Social Studies and French. 

Grade 1s are going to focus on many different strategies for adding and subtracting numbers up to 20.

Grade 2s are focusing on mental math strategies for addition and subtraction.  Grade 2s will be bringing home math games (as homework) to challenge you with.

Reading Record – January – colour a mitten on the snowman page for each day of reading.  Return them at the end of the month.
