We had our bus evacuation this week and we also got to watch a
video about bus evacuations. The
children did a wonderful job of evacuating the bus safely! Practice is so important! Just as important is the awareness of following
the school bus rules. The grade ones
completed a list of school bus rules as part of our writing curriculum. We are working on using the word wall words
in our sentences so if you would like to make a mini word wall board at home it
may help the students to write sentences independently (all other words can be
sounded out). The students should be
able to independently look at the words in alphabetical order and find the word
they have forgotten how to spell. Maybe
you would like me to make mini word wall boards for the students to bring home? Please let me know if this is something your
child would use and you would like me to create it!
The grade twos wrote a letter to a friend today. The letter had to be about the best birthday
party they had ever been to. We are
working on making our ideas clear and supporting our ideas with lots of
interesting and descriptive details. We
are also working on parts of a letter, editing our work and using our voice in
our writing (i.e. if you’re writing to a friend what would your writing sound
like – “Garrett it
was the best birthday ever. I wish you
had been there with me!”). Ask your
child about the letter they wrote. How
many details and ideas did they use?
