Homework

HOMEWORK:
1. Read and record (document) amount of time read and number of pages read
Reading logs were turned in by some students. However, I am giving house points to those students whose time I can actually count. If the amount of time read is not documented, then I do not know how long your child read. In order to monitor your child's progress properly, I also need to know the number of pages that were read.
Reading log points: Leeor, Rafaela, Yali
2. One journal entry for today. Rafaela always includes a sketch illustrating her adventure for the day. She also has the date pre-written on each page. It is easier for her to keep track of what she has done. Thank you, Rafaela and family.
3. Bookmarks: Students who are reading chapter books are using green bookmarks. At the end of each reading seSsion, your child should ask you (or join them) in asking and answering questions about what was read. When your child becomes comfortable with answering the questions (without hesitation or having to look back at the chapter), then he or she is ready to record the answers in their journal. Answering all of the questions in the journal will count as a journal entry. You may also answer the question by other means, just as long as I am able to access the student's responses. This means you may use a separate sheet of paper. You may voice record or video record the responses. There are many possibilities.

Thank you for bringing in more empty cereal boxes and tissue rolls. We have enough of them for now. However, we need many more Kleenex (tissue paper) boxes for a eco-project coming up soon.

NOTE: In class, we are in the process of writing a book about trees. First, we gather information, look at samples, and then go into the writing process. Last Friday, students took home a book entitled, About Trees. They needed to read the book and, using a straight edge (students know that this is another name for a ruler), underline their favorite parts of the book. Many students brought the book back blank. We will try the activity again this week.

Today was field day at Wong Chung Hang Pitch. Grade Two had a fantastic time. They were all very active and played very well together. They showed lots of positive teamwork and sportsmanship.

Friends, thank you for the time you spent viewing the blog and enriching our Grade Two experience.
