Please check your child's folder for your student led time. Let me know if the time does not work for you. There is some flexibility in re-arranging if necessary.
Next week, we pick up with spelling again. You might see that your child might be doing different letter sounds/blends as we did an assessment again to end term 2 and there was a shuffling of groups.
The Grade 3s have also started with multiplication. On Monday, I will send home a package of flashcards to practice. We will start with multiplying 2's as our math drills next week (we call this doubling the digit).
The Grade 2's will continue with subtraction facts, If I feel that they have mastered this, then we will challenge them with some multiplication facts.
As noted on the field trip forms, we will be going skating on Feb 27. We will leave the school at 11:45 and would appreciate any volunteers who want to walk with us and help tie skates!

GRADE 2 Parent Info
Here is a letter with IMPORTANT DATES from our Parish Religious Education Office!
Hello Parents,
A reminder of the upcoming Parent meeting for families that have children preparing for First Holy Communion. This meeting will be hosted by Sister Mary Bethany, Mrs. Maria Fonseca, Father Anthony and myself. We will be gathering on Wednesday, February 22 at 6:30 pm in the Parish Centre Auditorium. We are looking forward to seeing you all there.
There is no child-minding available this evening, PREP students will be taking part in their regular classes.
Our First Communion celebrations will be taking place on;
· Sunday, April 30th for CCS students
· Sunday, May 7th for PREP Students
Both Masses will be at 2 pm. If there is a conflict, students are welcome to participate in either, but we do need to know that well in advance please.
Also, a reminder of the Retreat on Saturday, April 22nd. We will all gather for Mass (students & parents) at 9 am. After Mass, parents will gather in the Parish Centre while the children will be gathered into groups to participate in their activities in the school and church. At 11:30, we will all gather in the Parish Centre to make banners. We should be done by noon.
One more note, as a generous gift of time, long standing parish tradition have the 1st Communion parent host the Confirmation reception, as the Confirmation families will be hosting your receptions. You will be asked to sign up for a shift on Friday, June 2 to assist in preparing decorations, setting up, serving and clean up on this evening. If you have children celebrating both sacraments, you are not required to participate, you will be busy enough J
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
With my prayers,
Heather Squires
Happy Family Day!
I hope you all enjoyed the five day weekend and the celebration of Family Day today :)
Just a few reminders!
Tomorrow is non-uniform day (Red, pink, white) for Valentines's Day.
Students are allowed to bring in treats to be handed out at the end of the day. We do have nut allergies in the class so please be aware.
In light of having five days off and the holidays, I am sure that a few of our students have forgotten that we have Speech Arts to perform. I had originally split it in two days (Feb 14-15). THE WHOLE CLASS WILL PERFORM THEIR POEMS ON FEB 15. Please paractice!
See you tomorrow!

What a beautiful sight it was this morning to see the snow covered field! The students had a great time playing in it. Please ensure that your child is dressed to play outside.
Tomorrow is a UNIFORM day but students are encouraged to wear crazy socks and shoes.
Grade 2 parents, please read the information below from Sister Mary Bethany. A blue text book for First Communion will be sent home tomorrow home along with a package that we encourage you to complete with your child.
If you still have a Reconciliation book at home, please return to school asap!
Hi Parents!!
I wanted to let you know about an upcoming "homework" assignment. Do you remember in the fall how you read a chapter a day with your child from the purple book about Reconciliation?
Well, we are now 85 days away from First Communion (yes, the count-down has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) and it is time for your child to be engaging you in conversation about this upcoming momentous milestone!
I will be sending home an eight-chapter book called God's Gift: Eucharist as well as a packet with questions about each chapter/topic, most of which can be found in the book, the others of which I am hoping your child will have gleaned from lessons in class this year. The packet concludes with a little interview of faith for your child to conduct with you!
Would you mind reading through this book with your child and completing the packet of questions when you have time, perhaps one chapter a week? I'd love for your child to be able to read and share discussion with you before First Communion! Maybe next week (with two days off) and spring break might afford some extra time for reading
which is why I'm sending it home now.
The packets are of course for writing answers down but please do not write in the books and do return them once you are finished so that we can use them again next year.
I really appreciate your involvement in your child's growing faith and
prayer life!!
With gratitude and prayers,
Sister
