Welcome back to school! Welcome to our grade two blog.
The first day of school for grades 1 to 7 is Tuesday, September 7th, 10:30 am to noon. All students will line up outside and go to the same classroom as last year. Then, students will be invited to their new classrooms.
The Year Ahead
Once the year gets rolling, we will introduce Show & Tell and a Home Reading Program for students. Students will be using agendas. Our focus will be on re-establishing our French during the first few weeks of school. We will also be reviewing math concepts from grade one.
What to Bring to School
- Water bottle: Students may keep water bottles on their desks as long as the bottles don’t leak. A sport or straw top is a popular choice. Water bottles should be washed at home regularly.
- Healthy snack and lunch.
- Active footwear: Students should wear running shoes daily. We often exercise on days that we do not have gym. Indoor running shoes will also be needed once weather gets wet. Flip flops, open-toed sandals and dress shoes are not good choices for school.
- Pencil Case: Each student can bring a small fun pencil case that fits inside his/her desk. Other school supplies will be provided.
- A box of kleenex/ tissues to contribute to the class supply for the year.
- A positive attitude toward learning and French.
Pick Up
As was the routine last year, parents will be asked to pick up children outside of school grounds, at a meeting spot at the perimeter of the grounds. Our class will exit through the doors by the intermediate playground. There is a yellow gate nearby which is a good meeting spot. If you also have a younger child, you may wish that your child walk down to the primary playground and meet you there. Please discuss a meeting spot with your child so he/she knows where to find you:)
Hopefully everyone will have a fabulous first week back!
