OPEN HOUSE AND PARENT TEACHER MEETINGS
OPEN HOUSE:
On Wednesday, October 19 between 1:00 and 5:00 pm I will be hosting a Student Led Open House. This Open House is a more informal way of meeting with you and your child. You may drop in anytime, for any duration. Children will guide their families through classroom routines and expectations, as well as showing their family members their work. I look forward to answering any questions you may have.
PARENT TEACHER MEETINGS
If you have any concerns that you'd like to address, please make an appointment for Thursday, October 20. The best way to contact me is through the agenda book.

LEARNING LOGS
Each week your child will bring home their Learning Log. This book is an on-going demonstration of your child's current performance in writing. Students write about school wide topics using language that they can generate independently. This writing should be accompanied by a picture that supports the chosen topic.
Parents are asked to review work and sign. Logs should be returned to the school as soon as possible. Most weeks, students will write at the end of the week, however, there may be variations to scheduling. There is a place for parents to add a comment if desired. Thank you for your support!

FRIDAY FESTIVITIES
As part of our Cultural Celebrations unit, students will study many popular celebrations learning about the traditions and history of these celebrations. A common theme throughout is family, friends, fun, and food.
This Friday we will celebrate Thanksgiving, with a Grade 2 tradition, of Thanksgiving Hot Dogs! Students will be treated to a hot dog and veggies/fruit. If your child does not like hot dogs, please ensure that they have a lunch. Students will still need a healthy snack.

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING?
Students have
been working hard! Some focus areas that we have been working on and
will continue to work on in Core Learning areas include:
Reading:
-3 ways to read a book
-picking 'just right' books
-building reading stamina
-identifying genre: non-fiction (fact/information books) vs fiction (stories)
- reading for comprehension (understanding and being able to summarize what we have read = retelling)
-text features: author, illustrator, publication date, table of content & glossaries (non-fiction)
Writing:
-Proper Nouns -
specific people, places, and things - please encourage your child to
always use a capital for their first and last name
-Ideas - being able to pick and develop a narrow topic (one idea)
-Super Sentences - using adjectives to describe nouns and prepositional phrases - sentences tell: who, did what, where and when
Math:
-Counting On Strategies focusing on numbers 0-100 - adding strategy
-Number Properties: odd/even, tally marks, describing numbers
-Story/Word Problems with a specific focus on skills of Logical Reasoning & Organized Lists
Thank you for supporting these skills at home whenever possible as well!! :-)
