Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Week 5!

This week our Star Student was Victoria!  Victoria is new to our school this year and is a great addition to our grade two family.



The Listening Centre opened this week.  The students got to read and listen to Pumpkin Town.


We celebrated our second early out Wednesday with Storybook Day.  The students were encouraged to dress up as a storybook character.  The idea came from a picture book called The Incredible Storybook.

 Can you pick out some of the storybook characters that came to school on Wednesday?



We listened and watched "Winnie the Witch" this week and  we identified the events that took place in the beginning, middle and end of the story.

We explored globes this week as we start we wrap up our mapping activities in social.

In math this week we started to take what we know about patterns and find number patterns.

In Art this week we collected leaves to make a leaf catcher.  

The weather turned a bit chilly this week so please ensure that your child is coming to school dressed appropriately for the colder, sometimes wet,  weather.  



Just a reminder that we are a "Nut Aware" classroom and school and Tim Bits are not guaranteed to be nut-free.  Therefore we cannot share these tasty treats in the classroom.
