FEBRUARY UPDATE!!

Five months into the year, five months left to have fun learning together! 2J are you ready for the final stretch?
LET'S HOP TO IT!!!


February is a happening month. Let's look at upcoming events:

VALENTINE'S PARTY
*Tuesday, February 14th will include a day of valentine math, writing, reading activities, to be followed with valentine games, snacks and sharing of valentines in the afternoon.
(Please note: This party is a class celebration only.)


100 DAY CELEBRATION
The countdown began on the first day of school and we are now only 5 school days away from this exciting event.  Friday, February 17th is our official 100th day of school and we have a jam packed day planned! Students, remember to bring your 100 collection to school on Friday.  Students may bring any 100 items they choose. Over the years many strange and unusual items have found their way into the classroom with everything from shells, marbles, feathers, toy cars, stuffies, pasta, books, lego pieces, 100 wallpaper samples, and so on and so on.  Anything goes, so use your imagination!

I LOVE TO READ MONTH
FUEL YOUR JETS FOR READING!
Students are building their reading stamina during reading workout and earning one puck for every 30 minutes of reading time.  The reading pucks are placed in the net in the front hall.  Once the net is full, a shoot out will occur during the final Playoff Reading Day- February 29th in the gym at 3:00 pm.  Rumour has it Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr. Scott will be our much anticipated participants!  At home, students are encouraged to read a total of 400 minutes in February for their Boston Pizza prize and to participate in the hockey bingo reading sheet found in their home reading duotang.  In keeping with our theme, every Friday is also a Wear Your Jets Gear day.  Check out our slideshow!
We read! We score!
