le 23 - 26 juin

I am having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this will be the last week in Grade 2! Here are some reminders and updates as we head into this short, busy, last week of school for the 2013-2014 year:

-Play Day Monday afternoon. Students should wear good shoes to play in, and wear sunscreen and bring a water bottle.
-Sacs bleus will be collected on Monday. Just the agenda will come to and from school for the rest of the week.
-There will be no Home Reading or dictee this week.
-We will have an assembly for Grade 8 farewell on Wednesday morning at 9am.
-On Wednesday morning after the assembly, we will be going for a short walk and having our snack with our grade 5/6 calipartenaires in Rotary Park. We will be back before lunch.
-We will have an assembly for showing the year end slide show on Thursday at 10:55am.
-Progress Reports will be coming home on Thursday, on the last day of school.
-There is no school for students on Friday, June 27th.

School books, games and library books

Please take some time over the weekend to have a look around for any books, library books, or games that have come from the school in order to return them.

Also, as we only have a few days of school left, there will be student work and supplies starting to come home. This is to avoid having overflowing and too-heavy-to-carry back packs on the last day.

Mille mercis!

Summer Reading Program

When we visited the book fair yesterday, Mme H. talked a bit about the Summer Reading Program at the public library. Each student received a magazine, as well as a book in which to keep track of books read over the summer.
Happy Reading!

I am finding it hard to believe that it is June already!
This week will be a busy one, here are some reminders:

-In Motion activity in the gym on Thursday afternoon.
-Library will be on Thursday this week. It is the last week to sign out books, so bring back last weeks to exchange for new ones.
-Home Reading Books will come home Tuesday and are due back Friday.
-Trip to the Frances Morrison Public Library on Friday. If you have not already done so, please sign and return the note that went home last week to let me know you are aware of this outing. For Friday morning, students will need walking shoes and their library cards.
-Dictee: For the next two weeks, we will be doing dictee in a slightly different way to prepare for dictee in grade 3. Students will get a short poem, as well as a sheet of homework to complete that goes along with it (due Friday). On Friday, for the actual test, students will get a copy of the poem with words or parts of words missing. Mme reads the poem and students fill in the blanks. Look for the poem and homework in the sac bleu Monday.
