Friday May 6, 2016

Highlights:
Today was our Arbor Day Celebration.  We watched Mrs. Gibson, Mr. Brady and the Gr. 2 Student Voice help plant our brand new tree out front of the school. For lunch we enjoyed a bbq’d hotdog!  

We continued to work on our multicultural posters that will be on display for our multicultural celebration on June 2nd.



All students have taken home a surprise for mom.  Please remember that it will need some water to survive. Happy Mother’s day to all Moms, Grandmas and Aunties.

Homework:
Literacy M.A.P. – Take a break for the weekend.

Tell and Show: Tricky, tumbling, terrific letter “t” this week….. be totally creative!

Dream Box: Dreambox is an interactive math program that the students have been working on here at school.  We encourage the students to log in at home and practice developing their problem solving skills. Teachers are able to track their progress and see what areas they are excelling in or that may need improvement. Here is the link: https://play.dreambox.com/login/dq8q/panoramahs

Home Reading – Please have your child read around 20 minutes every night.  Don’t forget to engage your child by talking to them about the text.  Being a good reader is more than just knowing the words!!  Good readers will: make connections, ask and answer questions, visualize the text, make inferences and transform their thinking.

Alternatives to Traditional Reading – Part of being a good reader is understanding how to tell a story!  Sometimes listening to a good book is just as educational as reading a good book. Please check out the links below for alternatives for those days where you’d like to a change of pace.
