February 27

February 27, 2012
Dear Grade 1/2 Parents,
Spelling – List #20 – Test Friday
Huge thanks for helping keep your child organized for all of the events happening this month! I appreciate all that you are doing to help us celebrate I Love to Read Month in our classroom.
Recycling – Yes, it’s true! Your child was asked to bring in a bag of recycling this week. We are going to be looking at the different types of materials and building a project. Please ensure all items are clean and free of sharp edges. Thank you!
Recess – We have made some changes to the recess arrangements at school. The morning and afternoon recesses have been divided into two sections to reduce the number of students playing on the playground at a time. So far this seems to be working well for everyone.
Reading Record – February – students have a bag of hearts. Each day/evening that they read they are to put their name on a heart and return it to school. The hearts will be used to build our bulletin board in our classroom.
February 29 – You may have noticed on the February calendar that parents are invited to our classroom at 2:30 on February 29. This time is meant to be a final celebration of I Love to Read month. Students will share some of their work with you, or just read some of their favourite classroom books with you. Please RSVP to me so I know how many people to expect. I understand that not all parents are able to attend. I will ensure that students without a parent present are grouped together to participate.
