Good morning! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend 🙂

1/2 day this Friday October 11. Dismissal is 11:45. No lunch will be served that day.

This week we will begin our spelling tests with a pretest Mondays and the final test on Tuesdays. Students will write their words in their Planners but I will also post them here. The words this week focus on the short vowel sounds in words. These are review from grade 1 and a firming up of the sounds. run, him, box, flag, jump, stand, wet, this, chest, shop.

Informational test will be the teaching point for the next 3 weeks in our guided reading. It ties in with social studies with the topic this week: Government at Work.

We’ll begin opinion writing with the goal of orally and in writing, stating an opinion and supporting ideas with evidence from the text we are reading.

For math this week, we’re at the end of our measuring unit so I am assessing how well the students can measure using a centimeter ruler as well as showing how much more/less one object is than another.

Science continues our learning about properties of matter. I hope your child shared with you what we did to check the insulating property of materials. Hint: it had to do with hot and cold water bottles 😉

All for now! Enjoy your week 🙂
