WE SCARE HUNGER starts tomorrow! 👻👹👻👹👻👹👻👹
There is a school council meeting this Thursday October 3rd at 6:00pm.
No School for students October 11 and October 14. 🦃
Home Reading:
Please try to read every night for 5 - 10 minutes. I remind students every morning to change their books, however if they want to keep it for a few days that works as well.
Math:
In math we will be moving into patterning and will continue with skip counting. Patterns are a great concept to practice at home with blocks, colours, buttons, beads, really anything you may have around the house. The students have already been able to identify the 'core' in a few patterns explored last week.
Please see the following outcomes for an idea of what we will be learning in Grade two.
