FEBRUARY UPDATE!!

We're halfway through the school year!  2J, are you ready for the final stretch?
LET'S HOP TO IT!!!!
February is a happening month.  Let's look at upcoming events:

TRI-CONFERENCES

We are an incredible community of learners and we can't wait to share our learning!

VALENTINE'S PARTY

Friday, February 13th will include a day of Valentine math, writing, reading, and games, followed closely with opening valentines and enjoying party snacks in the afternoon.  Class lists have gone home and we ask that children bring valentines for everyone in the class. 

100 DAY CELEBRATION

The countdown began on the first day of school and we were excited to reach the 100th day of school.  Because of our preparations for tri-conferences we decided to make our official 100th day of school celebration on Tuesday, February 10th.  It's going to be a jam packed day.  We are asking students to bring a 100 collection to school on Tuesday to count and share.  Over the years, many strange and unusual items have found their way into our classroom...shells, marbles, feathers, toy cars, stuffies, pasta, carpet samples, and so on and so on.  Anything goes, so have some fun looking around your house! 

I LOVE TO READ MONTH

 

READING...Happily Ever After

You may have already guessed that this year's theme is Fairy Tales.  The classroom beanstalk reading challenge, finding Cinderella's missing glass slipper in the library, mystery readers and fairy tale riddles are just some of the great activities planned.  On Friday, February 13th students may dress up as their favorite fairy tale character or simply wear red instead.  Don't forget boys and girls, to meet your reading goal of 250 minutes home reading to receive a special reading recognition certificate from the premier of Manitoba!
