 Quick look at the ME Bag activity.

"Me Bags" - First Day of School

 It's a fun, easy way for the class to get to know each other a little better!

 

 

Dear Parents,

 

There will be no more homework sheets.  Hurrah!

Over the summer months I would like to encourage all of the students to read regularly.  Have fun reading together and try discussing the stories with them.  The more the children read…...the more they learn….the more they grow….the more they discover…and oh the confidence they acquire!  In addition, try using math in every day situations and keep playing games with basic addition & subtraction facts. Flash cards, five minute drills and car games are great for sharpening their math skills. I have added some multiplication facts if they would like to practice for grade three.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continuous support and encouragement.  Your children are very important to me and we had a fantastic year together! The end of the year always brings a little sadness as they go to the next grade.

 

I wish you all a wonderful summer filled with happiness and fun!

Enjoy the special time with your family.

 

Sincerely,

 

Irene Tsimiklis

 

Dear Parents,

 

I give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give him/her back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature then he was then.

Although he/she would have attained his/her growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch his/her personality unfold day by day and marvel at this splendid miracle of development.

I give him/her back reluctantly, for having spent ten months together in  our classroom, we have grown close, have become custom to each other.

Ten years from now, if we met on the street, I hope that a light will shine in their eyes, a smile form on their face, remembering the bond we once had, this bond we feel today.

Remember that I shall always be interested in your child and his/her destiny, wherever he/she goes, whatever he does, whoever he/she becomes. Their joys, I’ll be happy to share.

I shall always be their grade two teacherJ
