April 22nd - April 25th

We have been studying contractions.  We have been busy making a contraction booklet that your child will share with you next week.  Point out contractions when you are reading with your child at home!

This week we did can experiment called the Shaving Cream Debate.  We tried to figure out if shaving cream is a liquid, solid, or gas. Here were some thoughts:

"It is a solid because a liquid drips from your hand.  Solids don't."
"It's a liquids because it takes the shape of a container."
"I think it is a solid because if you leave it over night it hardens"

Upcoming Dates:
Monday April 29th: RETURN YOUR READ-A-THON forms today!
Friday May 3rd: Read -a-thon celebration and Freezie Friday.

The grade 2s will be selling freezies every Friday to raise money for the splash park.  Freezies will be $1.00 each.  If you would like to help with this project you can send a box of jumbo freezies to school.  We will be selling freezies on May 3rd, 10th, 24th, 31st, June 7th and 13th.

There will be a pancake breakfast on May 31st and all money raised will go towards the splash park!
