May 27th -31st

This week we finished swimming lessons.  Thank you to all of our parent volunteers.

 We are getting ready for Seussical Week at our school.  Mr. Clarke came in and read us a story.

Our SCC put on a fabulous pancake breakfast.   The proceeds went towards our grade 2 splash park project!  We made $250 with the pancake sales!

We had some students come out from the university to teach us some science.  We made all different colours of flubber.

Next week:
Monday: Polka Dot/Stripe Day
Tuesday: Who Hair Day/ Bake Sale $1.00
Wednesday: Crazy Colour Day
Thursday:  Favourite Character Day/ We will be attending the musical in the afternoon
Friday: Freezie Friday

May 14th - May 24th

We have been having lots of fun with swimming lessons.  Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers.  In the classroom we have been busy writing about our swimming experiences. 

In math we have completed our unit on Data Analysis.  We will be working on a Measurement unit and a Geometry unit to complete our year.  In addition to this, we are still working on Addition and Subtraction to 100.   You can keep working on addition and subtraction facts at home with your child.  Knowing their facts from 1-18 is important.

Our Freezie sales are going really well.  Proceeds from the May 16th Fun in the Sun dance canteen will also go towards our splash park project.  We will be presenting our cheque to the community at the future home of the splash park on June 20th at 11:00.   The grade 2 classes from W.F. Ready School and W.S. Hawrylak will also be there.  You are welcome to come if you would like!

We are finalizing a few dates for June and I will send home a note regarding our June activities.  We have a Suessical Musical, outdoor swimming, playday and splash park fun coming up!  Plus we have all of our other learning too!  We will continue to work on our Nutrition unit for theme. June will be a fun filled busy month for us!

I hope that you enjoy your Mother's Day weekend!   We were busy this week working on Mother's Day things. 

We had our first swimming lesson and fun was had by all.  Everyone was on their best behaviour.  I can see so much growth in all of our students.   These grade 2's will be heading to grade 3 soon!  Where has the time gone?

The SCC is hosting a pancake breakfast on May 31st.  All proceeds will be going towards the grade 2's splash park project.  If you would like to help out on this day please contact the SCC.  We would like to have a grade 2 student and parent set up at a few donation stations.  Please contact me if you would be willing to hang out with your child for a bit that morning at the station.  The breakfast will be from 7:30-8:30 so we would like someone there from 7:30 - 8:00 and then someone from 8:00 - 8:30.  

Freezie sales are doing awesome.  The grade 2's are so proud to be in charge.  They do a great job setting up and cleaning up.  I am so proud of them!

Our class did an amazing job with the Read-A-Thon.  The grade 1 and 2 classes raised around $2800!  What an accomplishment.  We have moved onto Freezie Friday and this is proving to already be a success!

This week we got a new PWIM poster and we are working with a sorting app on the IPAD.  Ask your child about our poster and the app.

Next week we will be starting swimming on Wednesday.  Please email me or write a note in the agenda if you have your criminal record check completed and are able to help out at the pool.  We go every Monday and Wednesday afternoon for the next month.
