June 12th

 Hello,

Just a reminder your child is working on the last homework of grade 2 :).  We will be having the spelling test on Friday.  Please make sure that your child has their boat at school as well.  We will be testing them out in a kid's swimming pool to see how well they work.

We only have 2 more full weeks and 2 days left.  It is hard to believe.  The last day with students in Tuesday, June 28th (regular day).  We only have 6 more days of uniforms.  Starting Tuesday June 21st students will be allowed to wear casual clothes until the end of the year.

We have been wrapping up our boats and buoyancy unit in Science.  We made boats out of tin foil, paper, wax paper and newspaper to test which materials were best.  Next week will be exploring cargo ships and how they are able to carry such a heavy load.

In gym last week students enjoyed bowling at Toppler Bowl.  I think they all had a great time.  It is nice to leave the school and try something new.

In Social Studies, students have been working on some research.  They have chosen an attraction in Calgary to learn more about and they will be making a brochure.   This is the second research project we have done where I am looking for more independence to gather to information and decide what is important. 

In math, we have finished our look at 3D objects.  The last couple weeks will be review of the big concepts from the year.

In writing, students wrote their final climbing story.  We have now moved into some poetry writing.

Hope you all had a great weekend,

Mrs. Coulling
