Sorry!  I definitely meant to do this sooner (especially since they wrote it in their agendas).  Thank you for checking back.

It is a busy week in grade 2 with a field trip tomorrow to Galt Museum, Chocolate Day (a few activities followed up with making chocolate), and of course, Halloween on Friday.  The spelling test will still be on Friday - I know, I'm a big meanie;-) 

If you are looking for somewhere to unload the large amount of candy your child will collect on Friday night, why not have them turn it into money?  Able Dental will buy your candy for $1.00 per pound.  They will send the candy to the troops overseas at Christmas.  Their address is 511 5 Street South and they will accept candy on November 1st from 9am-5pm.

Some things to look forward to in November:

November 7 - Remembrance Day Assembly
November 10/11 - No School
November 14 - Report Cards Home
November 18 - Pyjama Day
November 20/21 - Parent/Teacher Interviews

As report cards are just around the corner, we are finishing up several units in different subjects. 

We have finished the Small Flying and Crawling Animals unit in science.  After learning how to care for our 'pet' spider, Blackie, he (she?) was set free this past weekend.  Our next unit will be Hot/Cold Temperatures.

In math we are almost finished the Number Concepts unit which included skip counting, odd/even, ordinal numbers, estimating, representing numbers in a variety of ways, place value, greater/less than and ordering numbers.  Our next unit is adding/subtracting.  We will be working on learning basic facts with a sum or difference of 20 by memory.  If you want to get a head start, go for it! 

Happy Halloween!
