Terry Fox Walk:
The Terry Fox Walk will take place September 19th. Pledge sheets are due back Friday. More details about walking times and activities will be sent home this week once they have been finalized by Mr. Hallihan. There is also an online donation page available at https://schools.terryfox.ca/team/grade-2-duffy .
Math:
We will continue to explore numbers to 100 this week. We began skip counting by 2’s to 100 last week and will move on skip counting by 5’s and 10’s this week. We will also look at expressing numbers in a variety of ways (base 10 blocks, tallies and ten frames). No math homework this week.
Literacy:
Last week we reviewed short vowel sounds and this week we will look at FLSZ spelling rule: The FLSZ or FLOSS rule states that if a one-syllable word has a short vowel sound and ends in the letter F, L, S, or Z, then the final consonant is doubled. Ex: cuff, hill, grass and buzz.
Word work (words we will look at)
off – bell – still – mess – grass – jazz
Heart Words
your – want
