We are excited to welcome Mrs. Delbridge to 2D!  We are also sad to bid farewell to Mrs. Ostonal, who is on a leave, and Mrs. Mruk, who has gone back to her Grade 4 placement.  We will miss having you both in our class.

In science, students completed an absorbancy experiment where they learned the terms, absorb and repel.  This liquids unit is full of fun exploration.  I challenge you to find one material in your home that absorbs and another that does not absorb.  You can write the findings in your child's agenda for them to share with the class.

Today was our first day of Words Their Way!  Students practiced cutting the sort (border, strips, rectangles).  Student understanding of the spelling pattern will be evaluated through use in their daily writing and a weekly assessment.  Students are encouraged to work with their sort at home nighty (this should be a short 5 minutes task).  There are complete details on the program on the Words Their Way page of our blog.  This is a great program, have fun with it!!
