Wow! Another week into the school year and we've been very busy!  Thank you to everyone who made it out to our Meet the Teacher Night this week.  For those of you who didn't make it, please feel free to come by the classroom and pay us a visit.  Our door is always open!

This week in math we discussed attributes of shapes and buttons.  The students then sorted shapes and buttons based on their attributes.

We worked on becoming "fit kids" and enjoyed the beautiful weather on Walking Wednesday.

With a full five days of school this week we gave our selves several "brain breaks" during the afternoon throughout the week.  We have great dancers in our grade two classroom!

We made paper school buses by carefully reading and following the written directions with a partner.

This week we had our bus evacuation practise so we prepared by discussing bus safety.  We each wrote an important safety rule for the bus.

We brushed up on our math skills with Fun Fact Friday.

On Friday I sent home the permission note that allows me to put photos of the students showing their faces.  Several students have assured me that their parents would be fine with me showing their face but I explained that without that signed paper I can't show their beautiful smiles.   

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered already in the classroom and to those who have signed up to volunteer.  I'm still waiting to hear from a few parents so I should be able to confirm volunteering times this week.  Thanks for your patience during our busy start up. 

And with that, we're all ready for another exciting week in grade two!
