Speeches, Speeches, Speeches!

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who presented their speeches today in their classrooms! It is wonderful to come to school this morning and have the students asking when they get to do their speech! There were no problems getting volunteers to go first. If you did not do your speech today, come prepared with something for tomorrow. Every student in K-5 needs to do a speech in their class room as part of their language arts mark (grades 3-5 did theirs before March Break). A few of you who have most of your speech memorized and can use good expression and eye-contact will be able to do your speeches again next Thursday at our assembly.

Grade 2 Homework:
*Read a book or chapter each night. Bring in your reading log at least once a week for me to check.
*Finish homework duotang by Thursday (no school on Friday).
*Present your speech.
*Practice spelling words for test on Friday: going, write, stop, into, got, made, new, would, each, chest.

Upcoming Events:
*March 26 & 27: Present Speeches in class; Report cards go home.
*March 29 6-8pm: Parent-Teacher Interviews
*March 30: Parent-Teacher Interviews (9-11am) and PD (No school for students)

*April 2: TNB presents "A Child's Garden of Verses" (please bring $2)
*April 5: Speech Assembly at 1:20pm
*April 6: No school for Good Friday
*April 9: No school for Easter Monday
*April 20: Curriculum Day (no school for students)
*April 25 or 26: Elementary Drama Festival in Saint John

Spring has arrived!



Instead of show and tell this month, we will be doing speeches instead. The students only need to do a speech in their classroom, and should pick something that they really like or know about. Think of it like a practiced show and tell! Students may tell about their March Break, about a special birthday or trip they took, or about an animal or sport that they are interested in. The students should have their speeches ready for March 26 and March 2. A few students will have the chance to give their speeches at an assembly on April 5th.

Grade 2 Homework:
*Read a book or chapter each night.
*Finish homework duotang by Friday.
*Start working on your speech.
*Practice spelling words for test on Friday: came, found, out, his, ask, draw, ate, fall, asked, truck.


Upcoming Events:
*March 23: Collaborative Curriculum Day (no school for students)
*March 26 & 27: Present Speeches in class; Report cards go home.
*March 29 evening: Parent-Teacher Interviews
*March 30: Parent-Teacher Interviews and PD (No school for students)

Day 101!

Our Day 100 celebration was a huge success on Friday! Thanks to all the parents who helped their children make projects and who supported our school by coming to watch the festivities, help out in the classrooms, and examine all of the neat projects in the great hall. Projects can be picked up anytime at the school, especially if it is too big for your child to take on the bus.




Grade 2 Homework:
*Read a book or chapter each night.
*Practice spelling words for test on Friday: had, don't, some, them, by, very, old, went, another, chug.
*Finish homework duotang by Friday.
*Practice the Days of the Week and Months of the Year. Students need to be able to say and write these in order, and to problem solve with them.
