Happy Fall!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend.  What beautiful fall weather we have had so far.

In our classroom:

Grade 2s have already completed a French unit on colour.  We are now working at learning the numbers.  Although the vocabulary in these units is familiar, reading the words is new.  This year we will work on reading and writing some of the vocabulary that we learn.


Grade 2s just starting building increasing patterns in Math class, while the Grade 3s just learned about decreasing patterns.  Can you tell which is which in the following pictures?



Our main goal in English Language Arts so far is to learn all the steps involved in the Daily 5.  So far we know the routines for Read to Self, and Work on Writing.  




Religion: In Religion we are doing a study of prayer.  We have talked about the 5Ws of prayer and have now moved into some more detailed topics.  We will work specifically on Praise, Confession, Thanks, Prayer for Others, and Prayer for Self.

Social Studies: We have completed a mini unit in Social Studies about Citizenship.  You should see these papers coming home this week.  They are for you to keep at home.

Wednesday: Pizza Hot Lunch
Thursday: Lunch Lady Orders Due
Friday: Terry Fox Walk, pledge forms due today, picture orders due online
