Hello,
This week your child brought home their homework book.This book will be sent home on Monday and returned by Friday. Homework will complement the topics that we will be learning in class and is an excellent review for your child. Homework should be a stress free experience. As part of the homework each week there will be 5 spelling words to practice for a spelling review each Friday.
Daily reading is an essential part of your child’s learning and can be made fun by partner reading or by reading at bedtime together. To encourage daily reading I will be sending a daily reading program folder home. Children should read at least 15 minutes each day at home. Please help your child record the book titles on the log sheet and when they complete the reading log they can return the folder to get a new sheet. Each time a student returns a completed log sheet we will add a link to our paper chain. We will be competing with the other grade 2 classes to see which class will have the longest paper chain at the end of the year.
I will be working with the students this week to teach them how to use our virtual classroom and Hapara. Hapara is an online learning forum that we will use throughout the year. I will post learning goals and activities each week that students will be working on in class. If for any reason your child is away from school you will be able to access and complete work through Hapara. Hapara is a link that can be found in the Ottawa Catholic School Board student portal. You must be logged in to your child's google account to access the links. The login information can be found at the front of your child's agenda.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great week,
Mrs. Reed
