Week 7!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend!  Although this week was only four days long, we managed to have another busy week.  

We wrote about our Thanksgiving.  First, we brainstormed all our activities for the Thanksgiving weekend.  Then we planned out what we wanted to write about.  

Finally, we transferred our work from our rough copy to our good copy. 

This week the student enjoyed The Ned Show.  

We used some of our time this week for "Ketchups and Pickles".  The students are divided up into two groups, "ketchups"  and "pickles".  If they are a "ketchup" the must use the designated time for catching up on unfinished activities.  If they are are "pickle"  they can pick an extra time activity to work on while the others finish their work.  

In art this week we created fall hangings with an important  reminder about working hard and doing our best to attain our goals.  In grade two, we can do hard things and we can solve problems!

The students have been very busy in science learning about liquids with Miss Adams.

We visited the Fort Saskatchewan Fire Department to learn about fire safety for Fire Prevention Week.

We explored the "Hazard House" and identified fire hazards.

We learned about fire safety equipment.

We learned that it is very important to loudly shout "Help!"  when the firefighters come to find you.

We got to explore the inside of the ladder fire truck.

We learned to "Stop, drop and roll".

We learned about the "fire triangle".

We had fabulous helpers for our trip to the Fort Saskatchewan Firehall.  Thank you to everyone who came to help us on our trip! 

Mini-Firefighters!

There has been a request made by the school for donations of any used Yoga mats that you might be willing to donate for our yoga sessions. If you have any yoga mats you'd be willing to part with please consider donating to the school for the students to use.

Headphones are used daily in the classroom.  Some students and families find the school headphones uncomfortable and some would prefer not to share headphones for hygiene reasons.  For those who would like to send headphones or earbuds

for the personal use of their child to avoid the sharing of headphones and for their personal comfort, please feel free to do so.  The students will store them in their individual extra supply bins.
