Good Afternoon Families,
The air sure had a chill in it today!! We definitely zipped up our coats and yes..some of us even had mittens today ;)
We worked on our self-portraits today..most of us are now finished! Wow! Do they ever look great :)
In Math we practiced our skip counting ~ by 2's, 5's, 10's and 3's. Ask us to show you!
We had music and then we did our first Literacy rotation of the year with Mrs. Tipper and Mrs. Stuart's class.
We are doing guided reading as well as different literacy stations.
After lunch we worked in our Explorer journals. We put a quote "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) into our journals and then illustrated the page. We discussed what this quote means to us and how it fits with us being explorers of our world. We also noticed how it goes with a growth mindset :)
We also had some quiet reading time and did some Cosmic Star Wars yoga this afternoon.
Reminders:
No school on Friday (parent-teacher conferences)
On Thursday September 29, 2016 at 9:30am Evergreen students will be participating in the Terry Fox Run around our community. Afternoon kindergarten students with their parents are also invited to join us to run at this time. In order to make sure our run is as safe and successful as possible, we will need as many as 75 parent volunteers. Parents have the choice to stand at checkpoints along the route and cheer on the runners, prepare healthy snacks for runners at the end of the run, or walk and run with the children. If you are able to come and help us with the run from about 9:00 AM until approximately 11:00 AM, please go to: https://goo.gl/forms/Es5jGjnEd4WfcZzG2 to sign up as a volunteer. Parent volunteers must have a current volunteer clearance to volunteer at this event. In addition, our student voice group has set our school fundraising goal to $5000 to raise money for cancer research. We will be collecting donations at the front office from September 19th - 29th. Please make all cheques payable to the Terry Fox Foundation. You can find more detailed information about our Terry Fox run on our school newsletter.
Have a great evening!
Love,
The Grade 2's
