How to Study Your Words

1. Look at the word, letter by letter, from beginning to end.

2. Say the word to yourself and listen carefully to the sounds.

3. Cover the word.

4. Write the word.

5. Check the spelling, letter by letter, with the word you are practicing.

If you make a mistake, notice where it is. Did you make it at the beginning of the word, or in the middle, or at the end? Was your mistake with a vowel, a consonant, or both? Now repeat all the steps with the same word.

Spelling


Dear Parents,

The Grade 2 English Spelling program starts Monday. Every child will bring home a word list and assignment in the agenda pocket. The assignment will be started in class and will be completed at home, if necessary. The assignment is due back the following Monday.

I will introduce and review the words during lessons at school. The spelling words are at the top of the page and are grouped phonetically. Your child will need your assistance to practice the words and complete the homework. Children often find it helpful to study the words using the “Look, Say, Cover Write, Check, Repeat” method. The weekly spelling test will take place on Monday.

Thank you for your support. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Bienvenue à la deuxième année!  Welcome to Grade Two!

I am excited to start another fantastic year at École Robert Browning and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your child's life for the next ten months. I will use several methods to stay in touch this year.

The agenda is my first line of communication. I read them all daily, usually in the morning, to see if you have questions, comments or appointments that will affect your child's day at school.

The class blog will contain student work and updates about what is happening at school and in the class with information about assignments and school events.

Monsieur Sorokowski and his class will once again post the daily announcements online.

You can contact me at school by emailing llacroix@sjsd.net
or phoning the school and leaving a message. (204) 837-8381

I am available after school most days if you want to come by to speak to me.  

I look forward to working with you to make Grade 2 a year to celebrate your child's growth and learning.
