Snowshoeing reminder!

Grade twos are being given the unique opportunity to snowshoe this and next week. If you have not done so already, please sign and return the form sent home last week. Please also ensure your child is wearing appropriate clothing.

Please ask your child some of the things they learned about snowshoes and what they must do to ensure they are being safe.

We will be snowshoeing tomorrow!!


A.M.A. (Ask Me About)
- We have been learning about oral health and why it is so important to brush our teeth, at least, twice a day. Today students learned more about WHY, WHEN and HOW they should brush their teeth. Please ask your child to share their thoughts with you on each of these questions.Please support your child with reviewing this helpful checklist. Feel free to print it out and have your child sort the activities in order.

Here is some of our instructional writing on how we brush our teeth. Can you give us some feedback on what steps we're missing? Where can we be more clear?

SPECIAL DAY FOR TOMORROW AND FRIDAY!

Please help your child dress in the colours of the country you would like to represent to celebrate the olympics! 

Constable Johnson came to visit our classes today! He shared some of the tools he uses to help him do his job. He also talked about some of the inside qualities about himself that help him do his job each day! After reading the story, I Like Myself, students brainstormed some of their inside qualities that are special and some of their outside qualities that they like. For example, some students said they were kind - that is an inside quality. The same student liked her long hair - outside quality. Here are some pictures from his visit.

Please ask your child: what did you learn from Cst. Johnson?
