Happy Islander Day! I hope that you had a great weekend to celebrate being an islander and to spend time with your family.
This past week, we made Creamy Dreamy Humus as part of our invisible forces unit. We are learning about healthy living to help fight off germs and microbes. All the students tried the humus and many even asked for more. Here is the recipe we used (although I didn't add the tahini or garlic) which is found on the Canada's Food Guide website, www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/canada-food-guide/tips-healthy-eating/meal-planning-cooking-healthy-choices/recipes/quick-easy-hummus.html I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. This week: Monday - No School - Islander Day Holiday Tuesday - Day 4, Music, Chef #11 Wednesday - Day 5, Phys Ed & Library, Chef #12 Thursday - Day 6, Music, Chef #13 Friday - Day 1, Phys Ed, Chef #14 We have entered our next formal evaluation period. This means I will be doing formal assessments in reading, writing, and math. I will be taking time from guided reading and writing workshops to complete all my assessments. Students may have a guided reading book for longer than usual. They are expected to change the other four books daily. Parent teacher interviews will be held March 7th and 8th. I will send home times again as they were changed due to the winter storm in November. Here are the sight words for
2s and 3s - Je fais, tu fais, il/elle/on fait, 3s only - nous faisons, vous faites, ils/elles font In math we are starting our measurement unit. We are continuing to learn about invisible forces, this week we will complete our internal forces and then next week move on to external forces. Please remember to complete a weekly lice check. Have a great week, Mme Bethany

Hello!
It's been a busy last few weeks in and out of the classroom for myself. This week will bring Valentine's Day celebrations on Thursday and skating on Friday. As the weather is looking a bit wintery tomorrow, I sent paper bags home to decorate. Please send the bags back to school on Thursday so students can collect their Valentine's cards. You will find a list of students at the front of the homework duo-tang. Skating is between 12h15 and 13h15 on Friday. I am in an in-school meeting so students will be skating with M. Zain. Any help with tying of skates is greatly appreciated. As well, parents are encouraged to skate with us. Regulations require that all person on the ice, wearing skates or boots, must wear a helmet. Sight words this week are: 2e - ce, je cherche, classe, fête, mardi, je prends, faim 3e - qui, six, oui, camion, sel, cinq I sent home our dictée from last week. Please note, that while I do have the students write a spelling test, I am most interested in seeing that they generalize what they have learned into their writing. That is to say, if we have worked on the «in» sound, I expect students to write a form of «in» when they hear it in a word. We're taking a bit longer to get through multiplication and division. But I believe we had our aha moment this week and students were able to make in the connection between multiplication and repeated addition, as well as division and repeated subtraction. Students in grade two have been working on double digit adding and subtraction to 100. I have noticed that many students are starting with the tens rather than the ones. If you are practicing adding and subtraction at home, please encourage your child to start with the ones. This is especially important as we are diving into regroupement. Have a wonderful rest of your week, Bethany |
