January was a very busy month! We had presentations on school
bus safety and fire safety as well as a presentation of Hansel and Gretel from
the Shoestring Opera Company. The students really enjoyed all of these
presentations. Last week, the children experienced some new Google glasses. They
used an app on phones which were placed inside cardboard viewing glasses. They
saw pictures of pyramids, tall buildings in Dubai, ocean views and much more.
It was so much fun!
I hope by now you have all received a letter from your child
in the mail. Hopefully it was a surprise. The children were so enthusiastic
about writing the letters and they especially enjoyed putting the letters in the
mailbox and waiting for it to arrive. It was a nice way to end our unit on
letter writing.
This is a very busy month in grade two. On Monday, the
students participated in an Aussie X dance workshop. Yesterday the class
discussed Groundhog Day with Mrs. Champagne. They read a story and a poem about
Groundhog Day and completed a written follow up activity related to the poem.
During the next two weeks we will be discussing Chinese New
Year, Valentine’s Day and 100th Day!
This is a continuation of learning about celebrations and traditions as
part of the grade two curriculum.
Today a not was sent home about a 100th day
assignment which is to be completed at home and brought to school on Thursday
February 11th. We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on this day as
well. Students who wish to bring in Valentine’s cards or treats are asked to
bring in one for each child to avoid children feeling excluded. Please make sure all treats are Nut Free! The children are welcome to bring in their Valentine’s, beginning
on Monday February 8th.
Just a reminder that report cards will be coming home on
Friday February 5th. I have already requested interviews with the parents of children I have some concerns about. I am more than happy to meet with any parent who
wishes to discuss their child’s progress. Please book your interview on the
School Bookings website www.schoolinterviews.ca by Thursday February 4th.
If for some reason you miss the booking deadline, just write a note in your
child’s planner and we can arrange a time that is convenient for both of us.
