March 12 - March 16

Hello Grade 2 Families!

Report cards are being sent out today and I am very pleased with the growth and progress made by our grade 2 students.  I have been very sick these last two weeks so I apologize if there are any errors on the report cards!  They have been proof read over and over but I'm sure someone may find something!

This week we had a great Train Your Brain session with Ms. Thomas.   We watched a video and learned 8 ways to control anger.   Everything from breathing to telling an adult.  Next week we are going to be doing some teamwork activities.

We have been learning about position and we tried to create some upside down drawings.  It was fun to overcome some obstacles and we can't imagine having to paint a whole ceiling like Michael Angelo. 

We had some balloon fun while learning about force.  We used the air from balloons to try and knock over as many cups as we could.   This is a fun activity to try at home too!
 
Next week:
No School on Friday March 23rd - 3 Way Conferences! Please return the blue note to let me know if you are able to attend. 

Here are a few quick pictures I took of our upside down drawing and our balloon fun.
