Had to drive my boy to his orienteering race after school yesterday so I was unable to blog. Yesterday was Mathieu's birthday and today is Callum's. We are gonna get fat from all the treats! Yumyum! I have no will power:(.


We did some learning about different wild animals today. We talked about our favourite wild animal and why we liked it. We drew a picture to go with a sentence M. Pask made us write. He erases our writing when it's messy and could be neater!!!!! He does it nicely though:)

After the grade 6 French Immersion class came to visit, as they will every Wednesday, and they helped us with our reading and they even helped us add another sentence. All in French!!

Some kids didn't finish their picture and so I asked them to bring the booklet home to do so.

Some of you forgot it was library today and so some students didn't get to take books out. I will do my best to remember to remind you but I will undoubtedly forgot from time to time.

Don't forget that Friday is Leduc Day and so we are travelling by foot to visit the grain elevator and then returning to do the Terry Fox Walk at 2PM. I know!!!! That IS a lot of walking! So please make sure your child has water and whatever else they might need to make the day go smoothly. Last time I had to bribe some students with freezies!

On another note, the Hilroy Studio Scrapbook Album wasn't on the grade 2 supply list. If you'd like me to put your child's work into one of these throughout the year, along with pictures, please send one to school with them. I did it for my students last year and I think it is one thing from the year to keep, unlike my kids, who bring home all their work that gets chucked into a rubbermaid bin to never be seen until who knows when!

I have sent home a package for capital and small alphabet letters. I told the kids they could do it for practice, or not. Some of them are have trouble with number and letter reversal. This practice will help them fix that. If their printing is neat and they really don't need the practice, no worries.

I am off to cross-country. Have a nice evening!
