Week 12!

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.

Inuit knife, ulu

We worked in a group to complete a traditional Inuit wall hanging.

Finally, we presented our wall hangings to our class.

Thank you to our volunteer helpers who came to spend the afternoon with us, Mr.  Huckabone, Mrs.  Knight, Mrs.  Gerling, and Mrs. Riess.

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. 20^th.

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!

Week 11!

This we celebrated McKenna as our Star Student!

McKenna proved that we get bigger as we get older by sharing a picture of her as a baby sitting in a bowl and sitting in the same bowl now.

We celebrated 50 days of school this week with Zero the Hero!

We continued to work on our numeracy skills by making numbers in a variety of ways using coins.

We also worked on ordering numbers from greatest to least and least to greatest.

We enjoyed The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs at our listening centre this week.

The students started working on their new science unit, Buoyancy and Boats with Miss Adams.

We sent our December book orders home early in an attempt to ensure that our book orders will be at school before the Christmas break.   Just a reminder that I can only accept cheques. 

Enjoy the wonderful winter weather this weekend!
