Hello there! I know it's been a few days since I've blogged. I have been coaching my two older boys' volleyball team. There wasn't a teacher willing to take on the position and I didn't want my boys to miss that opportunity. Having said this, I have had to leave right after the bell to get to their school to coach. It will be all done in the next few weeks.
Last week was a blast and a blur! Halloween is REALLY exciting for these grade twos. Right up there with Christmas. The Halloween party was a blast and the pumpkin carving went better than I'd expected. Thanks sooooooooo much to the parents who were able and willing to lend a hand. My belief: NO BLOOD = SUCCESS!
We had fun!!!
On Friday we started the day by talking about Remembrance Day and what it is about. The kids were interested and keen to discuss. We talked about freedom and patriotism and country and heroism. It was a nice discussion. The end of the day was art:
We have been focusing on a bit of spelling in English Language Arts but we are going to spend the month of November talking about our feelings, attitudes and being a kind and caring person. There have been too many discipline issues stemming from unkind words, hitting or just plain unfriendliness. I would appreciate it, if you believe some of these issues concern your child, if you could have these same "kind and caring person" discussions at home.
Tomorrow I am away for PD on early literacy. Enjoy the pics!
