Homework and spelling for Friday, January 9.

Happy holidays! I almost forgot to post this... oops!

So, spelling words for the holidays are 10 (or more!) surprise words. These words are high frequency words that we use every day and which will most certainly appear on the list of high frequency words I distributed during curriculum night. Please DON'T force your child to study this list - that's just not nice - instead, have your child read everyday - go to the local library and get some French books. You could make some flashcards with SOME of the words on the list for practise if you wish.

Homework is to write a retell of something that happened over the holidays.

See you next year!

Party time!!

This coming Thursday (December 18) the class has decided to have a winter party to celebrate the beginning of the holidays. Please do send in some treats for them to enjoy. Please ensure that there are no nuts of any nature in these treats, and try to avoid milk and eggs. Thank you and happy holidays!

Hanukkah

As part of the grade 2 curriculum, we learn about the traditions and celebrations of the people of Canada and the world. The photos here show menorahs that the students made. We learned about the story of Hanukkah and the Hanukkah miracle - which was the oil lamp that stayed lit for 8 days despite there being only enough oil for one day. The students also learned about Judah Macabee who fought for the right to celebrate as he wished despite the ruling of the king.

Student dioramas

I thought I'd offer you all a chance to see some of the dioramas created by the children as part of their culminating activity on our animals unit. Their work was well done and the research they accomplished was extraordinary. Do enjoy the photos!
