September 14, 2011

Yesterday we started a new "Word of the Day" program. The students will be introduced to a new "big word", we'll discuss it and practise using it, and then they'll write the word in their agenda so that they can extend their learning into the home setting. (Using these big words makes the students feel very important - especially when they learn a word that their parents or caregivers might not know. Prepare to be humbled!) I'll post the words on this blog. Today's word was "facetious" and yesterday's was "initial".

The second graders have a spelling test tomorrow with Mrs. MacDonald.

There will be a cookie sale tomorrow. As always, cookies can be purchased for the low, low price of 25 cents. LIne up those quarters!
