Grade 2 and 3 Homework
The grade 2's have been assigned a new book this week for review, however it did not make it into their school bags. They will get them on Monday and will have an opportunity to work on them at school and will bring them back home Monday evening.
The Grade 3's are not getting a new book this week. They have the week off from homework. They are however bringing home a math package which reviews the years concepts. The more that gets done, the better, but this by no means needs to be completed for Monday. It can come back to school on Monday.

Measurement Homework
We have begun to explore weight...the MASS of objects to be exact.
We use kg (kilograms) to measure heavy things and have learned that a 1L bottle of water weighs about 1kg. A large hard-cover dictionary also weighs about 1kg as does a freezer zip lock bag full of wood chips, or interlocking cubes.
We learned that a g (gram) is a unit of measure used to measure light objects such as coins, pencils, paper etc. There are 1000g in 1kg...important to remember.
Homework due for tomorrow is on a pink sheet, and homework due for Friday (an At-Home kg search) is due on Wednesday. Tickets will be given to those who return their work on time.

Grade 2 Spelling Homework and words
This week the grade 2's have received grade 3 words! Congratulations grade 2's - you are moving up in the world. Now we are learning 17 words instead of only 12. This weeks words are HOMOPHONES - words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. In addition to writing out our words, we also wrote sentences for each to help us remember the difference between each.
This weeks homework is to write another sentence for each word in our little spelling book.
main
mane
sail
sale
weak
week
heal
heel
right
write
side
sighed
road
rode
rowed

Homework this week...
In math we've begun discussing PROBABILITY...the chance of something happening.
Some of the words we've used to describe the chance or possibility of something happening are
impossible, certain, likely and unlikely.
The double-sided probably homework is due back tomorrow.
Also, we almost got through all the testing for the 4x tables. Tonight at homework club, some were even tested on their 5x's! So far, everyone is doing a super job.
Tomorrow, those who have not been tested, will continue to be throughout the afternoon.
