Between May 22nd and May 29th all Grade 2 students will be writing the Provincial Reading Assessment.  They will be asked to read several pieces of text and answer multiple choice questions.  We have been practicing how to answer these types of questions in class.  It is very important on these days for students to arrive at school on time and that they have had a good night's sleep and a good breakfast.   At this same time, all students in Grade 2 will be completing the District Writing Assessment.  Students will be asked to produce a piece of writing independently from start to finish. They wil need to choose their own topic, develop their ideas and write their story in a well organized form using good word choices, and proper punctuation and capital letters without any assistance from the classroom teacher.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Samson King for being named Saint Andrews Star of the Week!  Great Job Samson!!

There will be no spelling words or test this week due to it being only a 3 day week.   Reminder:  No school for students on Thursday, May 1st and Friday, May 2nd due to teacher meetings.   Spell-a-thon information and the list of words will be going home on Tuesday.   Please remember to read aloud each night for at least 10-15 minutes!

Due to this being such a short school week there will be no spelling words to study. Please remember to read aloud each night.  This helps with fluency and expression.  This week our whole class is reading the Robert Munsch book:  The Paper Bag Princess.    Happy Easter!!
