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

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
Irene Tsimiklis
