Raz-Kids Recording
Next semester, teachers will award two Raz-Kids Readers of the Week, every Friday. These students will be especially recognized by the teacher and have their best weekly recording played to the class. This will give the other students in the classroom an opportunity to hear their peers read. Stars will also be awarded to the weekly Raz-Kids readers to promote reading at home. Teachers will also begin to award stars to the students’ recordings as well.
Weekend Recount of Events
As you may be aware, some students have received additional writing homework about their weekend. All students will begin practising this procedure in preparation for next semester where it will be consolidated and reinforced. Teachers find it important for students to have the opportunity to practise free writing outside of the curriculum expectations. The ongoing practice of correctly using capital letters, punctuation marks, sentence structure and tenses is valuable to their learning progress.
Sincerely,
The Grade 2 Teachers

Raz Kids閱讀錄音:
下學期，每週五老師會表揚獎勵兩位本週最佳Raz -Kids小讀者。這些學生老師會特別讚賞，並將他們本週的最佳錄音播放給全班聆聽。此舉可以給其他同學一個聆聽同儕閱讀的機會。星星獎勵也同樣會獎勵給本週最佳Raz Kids小讀者，以推廣在家閱讀的習慣。老師們同樣會開始以給星星獎勵的方式獎勵學生們的錄音。
回顧式週末作業:
您可能注意到，有些學生會收到額外的週末回顧式作業。而所有學生也將開始練習此項作業，以鞏固及加強下學期的課程學習。我們認為學生能有機會在課程期許以外自行練習書寫是很重要的，這個持續性的練習，包含練習使用大寫字母、標點符號、句子結構及時態，會在他們的學習進程上非常重要。
誠摯地，
二年級老師
