Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson
A great quote for teachers and parents! Let's all try to plant lots of seeds of learning this year!
We have been making some really lovely fall reflections art work. The grade 2's made tree reflections and the grade 1's made leaf reflections. Make sure to come see them at Muffin Morning on Friday. The grade 2's also will have some AUTUMN acrostics to display.
Grade One - we have begun to review the Jolly Phonics program introduced in Kindergarten. This is a review as the students should know the letters and sounds. So, please review s, a, t this week. We will review all the letters first and then I will send the duotangs how later. Check the agendas and backpacks for work. I also hope to send a Book Bag home for Friday.
Grade Two - today we wrote an AUTUMM acrostic poem. Easy for some students and difficult for others. It was modeled on the board so they only needed to write endings for some sentences. The grade one focus changes from predominantly reading and sight word learning to writing and using sight words and phonics in writing assignments. You will notice a greater emphasis on composition this year. However, we will still be reading frequently and the Grade 2's will continue to have a Home Reading Program.
Hope to see you Friday!
