Guided By Our North Stars
Shavuah Tov!
I hope you had an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur.
This week students will be reading a short piece called לוֹמְדִים תּוֹרָה “Learning Torah”. A hard copy of the worksheet is in their blue homework folders. Homework is due on Friday.
Step one: Read text on Flipgrid
Step two: Answer the questions. (Full sentences OR just the missing word, either is fine)
Franco-Ontarien day was a blast!
We celebrated by watching a live-stream celebration and concert while having cupcakes!
Online learners, send us your handprints so we can add them to our flag!
Good afternoon Grade 2 Families,
Friendly reminder that tomorrow is a Dress Down Day! We encourage students to bring in a loonie or toonie to support the Terry Fox Foundation.
Thank you!
Good morning!
I wanted to let you know that we will be celebrating Franco-Ontarien day tomorrow, Friday September 25.
We will be having treats, watching a live-stream of the celebration (raising of the flag, concert, activities), and creating our own flag with the ADKs and Grade 1s.
The live stream is available on:
Given that it will be a dress down day, I encourage the kids to wear green and white (Franco-Ontarien flag colors).
Have a great day!

Shalom! This week we are beginning Hebrew homework. Homework is assigned on Monday and is due on Friday. If you feel the homework takes more than 10 minutes a day, please let me know.
Step one: Read סְלִיחָה שַׁחַר (Sorry Shachar) on Google Slides.
Step two: Draw a picture to illustrate the meaning of the five words on this page.
There is a photocopy of this worksheet in a blue folder in their note totes.
We have had an amazing first 2 weeks in Kitah Bet!
Shana Tova from Morah Lianna, Morah Batya, and Madame Sophie!
Good evening!
Your child will come home this week with a book called “Dans ma salle de classe” which we put together using classroom vocabulary. Please ask your child to read you this book (more than once if it is difficult). We have practiced this book in class and your child should be able to explain and translate each page. If your child has memorized the book, please have them read the words out of order and if possible, translate them to English or Hebrew.

In kitah bet we are getting ready for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Last week we read a story called, “Why do we blow the shofar in the Hebrew month of Elul?” We learned that the shofar is telling us to: “WAKE UP! A NEW YEAR IS COMING AND WE HAVE TO GET READY!”
Bolded are the words we are learning in Hebrew.
What items do we need to get ready?
תַפּוּחִים בִּדְבַשׁ –Apples and honey for a sweet new year. (tapuchim b’dvash)
רִימוֹנִים – Pomegranates to represent all the mitzvot we will do this year. (rimonim)
חָלוֹת עַגוּלוֹת – Round Challah so that we will have a good year all year round. (challot agulot)
מַחֲזוֹר – Special prayer book to read the prayers just for the High Holidays. (machzor)
כַּרְטִיסֵי בְּרָכָה – Rosh Hashanah greeting cards to wish others a Shana Tova. (kartees bracha)
What else can we do to get ready for Rosh Hashanah?
תְּשׁוּבָה – We reflect on our year and think if there’s anything we can do better or change next year. (teshuvah)
סְלִיחָה – We say sorry to anyone we may have wronged. (selicha)
מִצְווֹת – We can do lots of good deeds to prepare for the new year. (mitzvot)
