This week we celebrated Jacob as our Star Student!
We are collecting new and unwrapped gifts for children in the Boyle Street area of Edmonton until December 16th.
We are also raising money for our foster children by raffling off VIP Parking and Seating for our Christmas concerts this year.
The choir did a great job entertaining the school at their concert. We have many enthusiastic singers in our class.
We also have a very attentive and appreciative audience.
After a wonderful performance, we let our sillies out!
In social we compared the weather in Iqaluit, Meteghan and Saskatoon.
We also learned about the flags and flowers in each community.
In math we practiced our estimating skills.
We also worked on some tricky hundreds chart puzzles.
We ended our week with an Inuit presentation.

As usual, December
will be a busy time in grade two as we prepare for the Advent season. Before we break for the Christmas
holidays, we will be preparing our hearts for the Christmas each morning with
our school Advent calendar culminating with our final Advent celebration on Friday, Dec. 20th.
Next week we will celebrate our early out Wednesday as Sparkle & Shine Day. Get dressed in your most festive of outfits. The more sparkle the better!
