Dear Families,
Important notes: 1) Several items were sent home today: April calendar, new peer spelling words and Scholastic 2) No School this Friday April 3rd and Monday April 6th. This morning it was great seeing everyone's smiling faces. After reading tubs we shared about our vacation. During Daily 5, students either wrote about their time with their family during Work on Writing, met in their guiding reading group, listened to Story Online / Bookfliks or tried to solve the mystery word by creating many small words. The mystery word letters for the week are: e, i, i, g, m, n, p, r, s, t After recess we went to the Learning Commons and reviewed how to look for books and treat the space with respect. We also got new books for our reading tubs and did a book exchange. After lunch, we chose our new spelling words and practiced subtraction with regrouping in math. In gym we played Octopus and used the scoops / balls in as many creative ways as possible. To finish the day we learned about the Arctic and polar bears from the movie In the Arctic. Some questions we have are: What do walrus' eat? and How do walrus' get tusks? We were also fascinated by how they photographers filmed the polar bears swimming. We look forward to finishing the movie tomorrow and learning more about the Arctic. We are excited to see families tomorrow for Student Led Conferences where your child will share their learning with you.
Today we had a special "green" birthday snack for our March birthdays. Ask me what yummy healthy food I ate. We also prepared for conferences, learned about the Arctic from Ms. Frizzle on Magic School Bus, enjoyed ball games in gym, shared about our upcoming break and worked on our reading and writing in Daily 5. Have a safe and wonderful Spring Break! See you on Monday March 30th. Dear Families,

We will show you what we did to set up the experiment at conferences. Ask me what seed we used. Our plants showed a lot of new growth over the weekend. Many of our tomatoes are turning red and we can see some of the wheat grow. Our new mystery word has the following letters: e, e, e o, c, c, f, n, n, r, s. In the afternoon, we worked on subtracting 2-digit numbers using a 100 chart and tens / ones blocks. Ask me which way I prefer to use. In gym we used scoops and balls after our warm up stations. We listened to 2 books today - Magic School Bus - Polar Bear Patrol & A Promise is a Promise.

Ask me what a blubber pounder and a leister is. For "ketchup time" we worked on our Northern Lights art, completing our class name quilt, updating IRIS and adding more to our cartoon stories. In gym we played Swamp Ball after warm up stations. At the end of the day we listened to the end of the story - Polar Bears Past Bedtime. Jack and Annie solved the riddle. Ask me if I can. I cover what's real and hide what's true. But sometimes I bring out the courage in you. What am I? Dear Families, Important notes: 1) Please send in Muscular Dystrophy donations asap or donate online (see link from previous blogs). 2) Student Led conferences next Thursday 8:00 am - 8:00pm. In math we worked on a problem called 100 reasons. We needed to count by 5s to solve the problem. After we worked on making different number sentences to equal 100. In Social Studies we learned more about the oil lamp and the bow drill - mouthpiece. We also got to touch the model canoe. Some of us had our first day of knitting club. We get to bring our yarn home to keep doing it. In gym we had fun doing the "hop." We made bunny ears before and got to wear them. We danced to Uptown Funk and Hokey Dokey. In music we did the drums. We got to watch a bit of the Raspberry Jazzberry Jam. Students at Evergreen School are raising money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. We will be hosting a "Hop for Muscular Dystrophy" on March 11th and 12th during gym classes.
Online Donations can be made on the Evergreen School Team Website. If your family wishes to set up a personal fundraising page, click the "join team" link. Funds raised through the HOP for Muscular Dystrophy program help families affected by a neuromuscular disorder obtain essential mobility and medical equipment, support services and education as well as funding leading research to find a cure. Go to muscle.ca to learn more. Funds will be accepted until Wednesday March 18. All students who participate in the fundraising will be entered in a draw for fabulous prizes!

Dear Families,
Important notes: 1) Please return library books asap. 2) Online donations for Muscular Dystrophy can be made online at: http://muscle.akaraisin.com/pledge/Team/Home.aspx?seid=9713&mid=10&tid=85452 Today we recognized 100 days in Grade 2. We think that it was really back in February but we might have lost count along the way - perhaps during our week at 2School. We did a variety of activities with 100 like: - writing as many number sentences that equal 100, - counting and sorting 100 objects, creating patterns on a 100 chart, remembering what we didn't know how to do 100 days ago, what we can do and what we want to know how to do in 100 days |
