March 2, 2015

Hello families and friends,

Unfortunately we were unable to go on our field trip to the Cross Conservation Area.  It has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 19th.  New permission forms will need to be sent home and filled out, I will get those out as soon as possible.  If you will be able to volunteer for this day please email me at <gasoulliere@cbe.ab.ca>.

In gym the students started a new game using the drum fit and omnikin balls.  Ask your child about this.  Our words of the week for this week are "laugh", "around", "fast", and "has" for grade ones and "after", "thank", "who", and "again" for grade twos.  A reminder that the grade twos are still expected to know and be able to use correctly the grade one words of the week as well.

In the afternoon we continued working on building our writing stamina and worked on self and peer assessing the writing that we did.  We also did a class generated piece of writing about polar bears and then worked on editing and revising it.  Over the next while we will be doing a lot of work with this to get the students back into practice.  Ask your child about this.  We finished the day by learning a new variation of the math game that we had learned last week, this time using odds and evens.  Ask your child about this.

Post in the comments below one thing you noticed in the slideshow from Ms. Handelsman's class' trip to the Cross Conservation Area from last year that you are excited about for our trip.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
