Good day everyone. Welcome to another school year at East Elementary. It has been an exciting time here in Classroom 2A getting pumped up for a great year of learning. There is lots to take in for the students and these first couple of short weeks there will be lots of working on routines and getting back onto positive habits.
There have been a couple of forms to go home already. A welcome back letter stating lots of important info regarding class 2A. There was a package with many forms that needed to be signed regarding things like FOIP and being able to share information and post pictures of students. This needs to be returned as soon as possible. Also, hot lunch will begin in October every Friday. The form informing you how to order hot lunch went home today.
Language Arts:
Spelling
This weeks spelling words are as follows;
fox cut hill wind put all moon saw tell new
The spelling tests will be conducted every Friday. I encourage you to practice the spelling words with your child as often as you can.
Reading and Writing
Reading and writing are very important skills to have as you grow. I have already began to assess where each students reading and writing abilities are. I will be conducting some more assessment this week and in the coming weeks to gauge what our focus needs to be on.
Math:
This week in math we will be doing addition and subtraction review. Your child may come home with some questions that need to be completed.
Science:
We have started our first unit in Science, Magnetism. The students got to explore the classroom, "sticking" magnets to things, to get an idea of some of the properties of magnets. We will be getting into more details this week.
Social:
We are starting a review unit in mapping, to get the students more comfortable using maps before we delve into our first unit, Exploring Places.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Do not hesitate to phone or email if you have any issues or need anything.
Mr. Aasen
