What an awesome day! Everyone worked so hard today! Way to go Grade 2!
Spelling started today. Spelling is due every Thursday and tests will be on Fridays. The homework is quite simple and should take a total of 20 minutes over the 3 nights. 5-7 minutes a night. The homework is focused on letter/vowel sounds as well as following/reading instructions. There will be 5 sight words every week to study as well for the test.
Spelling words this week:
am - ask - as - has - hand - land - mad - add - was
Sight words this week:
have - name - use - are- I
Wednesday will be our Coulee walk to compare/contrast the way Lethbridge looked over 100 hundred years ago to now. We will talk about the Battle of the Belly River between the Blackfoot and the Cree as well. Every student should come properly dressed with good walking shoes. I would also suggest sending a water bottle, snack and shopping bag to sit on in case the ground is damp. Thanks to the following volunteers who will join us for the walk at 9:45:
