Hello there! Nice day here in grade 2! The average male burns 2000 calories per day. Your kids have me up near 3000 cals easily! I need to clone myself! They are all eager learners and really doing a great job looking for answers.

We finished up our English writing about Inuit people. We worked hard at math addition. They spent much time coming up with different additions equaling 82, the number of school days thus far! Ask them if they can come up with 4 or 5!

We did some typing/dictation spelling practice today. Most students are coming home with a sheet with 5 sentences I dictated to them. They added the other 5 words that are our spelling words for the week. I say most because as I typed, I looked back at their desks and some forgot to put the sheet in the backpack. They words are : belt, yet, sell, tent, bread, head, said, bed, set, and help.

I will give them a sheet of paper with sentences and blank spaces. They will have to correctly spell the correct word. Ex: The dog's pants fell down because he didn't tighten his ________. (belt)

I go now! The last of my 4 hockey playing sons is trying to win to stay in minor hockey week tonight.

Bonne nuit!

Oh yeah! It was Sami's birthday and she was nice enough to have dad drop off sweets!!!

And here are a few grade 5ers reading with us during DEAR (Drop Everything And Read).
