 Happy Fri-yay! That's a wrap on week 2!   In math, have been reviewing our 2 digit addition with regrouping skills.  Practice a few questions at home. We enjoyed getting together with our grade 2 buddies and creating nature art. Our Terry Fox Run was a great success.  We learned about courage and perseverence and how to keep going even when something is hard. Please return yellow parent viewpoint next week.

Happy Friday!  We appreciate everyone who was able to attend our Orange Shirt Day assembly.  Our students learned so much about Truth and Reconciliation and what celebrating Orange Shirt Day means.  Why do we have this day?  Why is it important to remember and learn about the past? We reviewed verbs this week.  What is a verb? We continue to practice our sentence writing to make our ideas clear and complete. In math, we are solving number patterns, reading and understanding word problems and adding money.  Do you know the value and names of all the coins? In science and social studies, we have been learning about landforms and how they are formed, specifically in Alberta. Alien In-Line Skating Schedule for Mrs. Kruger's Class: Wed. Oct. 1 Mon.

 Happy Fri-Yay! This week in grammar we reviewed nouns.  Ask your child what is a noun?  Can they give you some examples?  We did a quiz on Friday and I will be sending this home next week.  Moving forward, most friday we will be writing a grammar quiz on different grammar rules.  Check in with your child to see how they are doing. In math, we have been reviewing double digit addition with regrouping.  We will be moving quite quickly in math this year and I encourage regular check-in's with your child to see how they are doing. We have been practicing for our Orange Shirt Day assembly.  We are looking forward to sharing our learning on September 26 and hope to see many of you there.
