Report cards and evaluations

Report Cards

Report cards are coming home today, January, 24. These reports are a summary of information on Ed Inform up until mid- January. The more recent entries on Ed Inform are not included in this report.
The language has changed for the report card. We now use the descriptors emerging, developing, proficient and extending. The description for these terms is on the back of the report card cover.
As always if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me and we can chat about your concerns and questions. 
Please return the envelope and report card cover to the school. The report card is yours to keep.

  • New reading videos under « reading »
  • New activities under « geometry and measurement »
  • Adding activities under « number sense »

Literacy

In class this week we have been learning about the core competencies. The core competencies are competencies that everyone uses daily. They include: communication, thinking as well as personal and social responsibility. The children have each done a self-reflection about their strengths in these competencies. This evaluation is coming home as part of the report card. Please return the grey duotang so that we may use it for a second evaluation before the end of the year.

Our First Full Week!

  Literacy We have started our class learning routines and activities this week. The children are practicing reading on our own. They find a spot to sit in class and put a mat down. The children pick 2-3 books that they practice reading several times.  To practice reading the children are: getting their mouth ready to say the letter sound rereading new words to blend the letter sounds together e.g. R-o-s-ie becomes Ro-sie then Rosie checking that the words that they say make sense in the story. If there are more than 2 words on a page that they do not know, then they should change their book for something that is easier and still provides a challenge.  The blue bins, pictured on the bottom shelf, are activities that support oral language, sight word recognition and spelling. Each table gets a bin after snack and works at the activity. Each day they have a different activity.  Out literacy centres Math We have been using Cuisinaire Rods to create number trains.

Art Cards, Science and Social Studies

Art Cards We have started out Art Cards! Social Studies and Health One of the Big Ideas, a focus, for grade 2 is the diverse regions of Canada. As a beginning  to this unit we made a map of the school grounds. We then looked at Canada using google maps and zoomed in to our school. We were able to compare our map with what we saw on the screen.  Over the school year we will be looking in more detail at different regions of Canada. Over the next few weeks we will be talking about the food we grow on the Island. This will lead to conversations and comparisons with the prairies, what grows on the prairies, the animals and geography of that region of Canada.  As we are talking about food, we will be reading and retelling the story of La petite poule rousse. (The Little Red Hen). We will also be talking about healthy foods vs snack and treat food.   As we approach Halloween could you please limit candy to 1 item per day if that is your practice to include candy in your child's lunch.
