It was so great to see everyone this morning! We started out our day with a math problem, PE and our Monday sharing circle. It is really nice to see how comfortable the students are getting with each other and how willing they are to share in the large group. It seems like most of you had a very busy weekend :)
The students practiced their editing skills on a letter that Mrs. Yacyshyn wrote...it had a lot of errors!!!
Each table group worked together to find punctuation, spelling and capitalization mistakes. We are hoping to use these same editing skills in our own writing :)
This afternoon we labelled all of the provinces and territories on our Canada map and began talking about some Canadian explorers. We learned a new math game...it is called 'Flip 3'. Ask us how to play.

A note about the Terry Fox Run:
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
