Today the class looked closely at the landscape of a Prairie.  We  discussed describing words and this is how some of the students described what they saw…
”I see beautiful sunflowers, a dirt path, a good looking sky that helps grass grow. I think the place gets lots of rain and sunlight.  I wonder why the flowers are so tall? I feel like there are lots of bees and butterflies there”.
~Aleksei
“I see sunflowers, yellow daffodils, clouds and a clear blue sky. I think that this is a farmer’s field and it is beside a corn field and it is where scarecrows are...I wonder if strawberries grow and other fruits?  I also wonder if there are scarecrows? I feel a sunflower seed crunching in my mouth and the air and breeze”.

Dear Parents, We had a great start to our day with a presentation by HOJE.  The talented singers sang and had the audience captivated with songs from the top 40 music charts. Feel free to ask your child about the performance tonight. The students are busy preparing and practising for our grade two learning celebration on June 2 at 8:30 a.m.  Please book some time off if you can to join the grade two’s on that day. Important Information: Practise home reading daily. Please return all field trip forms as soon as possible if you haven’t already done so.   Our class now has enough volunteers for the Aboriginal Center on May 29 but is in need for 2 parents to come with us to the Ed Center. Please gather any items listed in the email sent home regarding our Learning Commons. Have a wonderful evening! Sincerely, Mrs. Sayani

Dear Parents, Your child learned how to do his or her home journal through an email today. They were so excited about it!  Please keep in mind that they are just beginning to use a keyboard and are learning.  There are some great websites for you to use at home for them to practise their keyboarding skills.  Dance Mat Typing is one that you can try at home. You are welcome to send an email back to your child about their learning at school. www.dancemattypingguide.com/dance-mat-typing-level-1/stage-1/ We are going to begin to learn about Boats and Buoyancy on Monday. Practise home reading daily. Our two field trips have been approved.  We will be going to the Aboriginal Centre on May 29 and the Education Centre on June 8.  In order for the trips to happen, we will need volunteers. Please look for notices regarding these two field trips in the upcoming weeks. Sincerely, Mrs. Sayani
