Writing in Grade 2

This week I have sent home some writing samples and I have had some questions as to why I do not always correct the children’s spelling.

I thought that this gave a good explanation…..

I want them to focus on the process of writing and not get hung up on spelling every word perfectly, otherwise some children would write nothing at all.

 

What a week!

Between the craziness of Halloween and the beautiful weather, it has been quite the week in 2T!

Congratulations to Jaida H. who was a lucky winner in the colouring contest from Family Pizza. She won a bag full of loot!

We welcomed a new student to our class this week. Everyone has been helpful and kind to Jaden. That brings our number up to 25.

We finished reading the book Mouse and the Motorcycle this week, and as a treat for us we will be watching the movie on Tuesday, November 8 in the afternoon. To make the day even more exciting we can wear our pajamas, bring a small stuffie and a snack to munch on during the movie. Tuesday the 8th is also the pizza lunch (for those who ordered) so it may be the best day ever!

This is what made us smile this week;

Oct. 31– making and eating root beer floats (Deamera)

Nov. 1– writing stories about Mrs. Tebay being missing (Carlee)

Nov. 2– having a new student in our class (Eabha)

Nov. 3– the whole day (Matt)

Nov. 4– watching Chip and Dale at lunch time (Ayla)

Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy the beautiful weather! Every day without snow is a treat 🙂
