Math:
We will be finishing fact families and working on subtraction this week.
Fact Families: Fact families are a set of four math facts that use the same three numbers and show the relationship between adding and subtracting.
You use all three numbers in each question. It is important to remember that with subtraction you start with the largest number.
EX: 12, 8 , 4
8 + 4 = 12
4 + 8 = 12
12 – 4 = 8
12 – 8 = 4

9 + 9 = 18
10 + 10 = 20
Reading/Literacy Instruction
Last year, a new strategy in teaching literacy and reading was put into place in our district. The focus is on teaching students’ phonics/sound strategies to help promote reading. Because of this, reading is no longer taught in the same way parents are used to seeing. Students will continue receive nightly/weekly reading as part of their homework, but they will be choosing levelled books they are interested in, rather than bringing home books that are “their level”. I encourage all students to read at least 3 nights a week, they may also choose a book from home as long as they are reading.
Have a good week!

Fletchers Farm
We are headed to Fletcher’s Farm on Tuesday, October 1st. We are leaving at 8:30am and returning for lunch. Students will not be able to buy at snack that day.
Please make sure students:
· arrive to school on time.
· dress for the weather.
· bring a water bottle.
· have packed snacks.
Homework Bag / Folder
Please sign your child’s agenda each night. It is a good idea to take a quick peek inside their bag/folder as well. There may be notices, artwork or notes from school inside.
Reminders:
· Please do not send toys, stuffed animals or makeup to school with your child. We are still having issues with these items being brought by students.
· As a “Get Moving and Get Outside” school, we will be spending more time outdoors getting fresh air. Because we are going out in most types of weather, it may be a good idea to have a spare set of clothes in your child’s bookbag (just in case).
Have a great week!
Grade 2 is the best!
