On Monday we had a Fire Safety presentation. Some Regina firefighters came to our school and taught us how to get out of the house if there was a fire. They set up the smoke tunnel and each child went through it. Each student practiced calling 911. Make sure your child knows his/her address and phone number!
On Tuesday we had an Animals in Winter presentation. Kent from the Board Office came out and brought many furry friends with him. He talked to us about migration, hibernation, shelter, growing new coats, and camouflage...all the things animals do to prepare them for winter.
Our CREATE artist had to cancel last week, so our last session was Friday Nov 19th.
In our class we have been talking about people who are less fortunate than we are. The kids talked about raising money for Santa's Anonymous. They put themselves into groups to see who could raise the most money. They gave themselves a team name; ask your child what his/her team name is. Some kids started bringing money in already! We talked about ways to raise money at home (chores) and not just having our parents give us money.
Report cards will be handed out on Wednesday November 24th and conferences will be on Friday November 26th.
I am looking forward to sharing your child's growth and progress with you in the report card. I am also looking forward to meeting with you on Friday to discuss future goals for your child!
Have a great weekend!

November 1-5
Hello Grade 2/3 Families,
I will be posting some pictures from our CREATE dance sessions very soon. Last week we did circle dances and this week we worked on squares. Our last session will be this Wednesday afternoon. Stay tuned for the pictures!
Report cards will be coming out on November 24th and conferences will be on November 26th. I will have the conference times sent out to you by the 19th of November if not sooner.
This week we finished writing out PWIM paragraphs and labeling our picture. The students started choosing their own activities for Daily 5 and it is running quite smoothly. They like being in charge of their choices and they stay more focused and on task. They are making connections and working on many other reading strategies.
Please check the school website for more school information!
