As we move through our Science units, the grade 2 classes will be having an in-school field trip on March 2nd to introduce our "Exploring Liquids" topic. Our class will be in this field trip from 9am-11am. We are looking for volunteers for this educational event, from 8:45am-11:15am. If you are available to help, please send me an email at eemacdonald@cbe.ab.ca
Valentine's Day is on Monday! Students are encouraged to wear casual clothes in pink, purple, or red (if they have them). We will be exchanging Valentine's cards, doing some Valentine's themed math, and art.
Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Thursday or Friday of this week (Feb. 17th and 18th) as teachers are attending our annual convention.
No more mandatory masks for students starting Monday. Although masks are no longer mandatory for students, Le Roi Daniels will support whatever parents choose for their children. Children will not be required to wear masks on the bus or in school, however if you want your child to continue to wear a mask, please be sure to send it with them and have that conversation with them around your expectation as parents. Teachers will be unable to monitor or enforce student mask wearing and therefore we are asking that you please ensure your children understand what you would like them to do.
Last week, students dove into a couple research projects for Science and Social Studies. In Science, our class picked an animal and looked into how they stay warm in cold temperatures. They discovered that polar bears have blubber and fur, and that penguins have several layers of feathers! Their knowledge of insulation will come in handy for their upcoming insulation project (check the homework for more information).
Room 15 students wrote some amazing pieces about how to blow a bubble, and continue to work hard on developing instructional writing skills.
In Math, we continue to build on strategies for addition and subtraction, including using a number line to understand our answers.
