Conferences are upon us! When we meet on Tuesday, I’ll share with you your child’s progress across the curriculum, and we will also address any questions or concerns you may have. A final conference schedule will be sent home on Monday.
As a way of building our school community, there are several school-wide initiatives throughout the year. One of them is a monthly “all school read,” in which classrooms study and engage in activities around a theme. This month, we are reading What if Everybody Did That (Javernick, 2010), about a boy who finds out about personal responsibility by learning that small things matter, like littering, interrupting, and more. Our class will focus on small things that make a difference in a positive way: inviting kids to play at recess; saying sorry; contributing at work times; etc. We will write, draw, and share our work at this week’s School Meeting on Friday.
Also this week, we will be treated to a visit from a community reader. Our local Rotary Club will be sending a representative to grade 2 classrooms to model for us the importance of reading in our daily lives. In addition, the organization is donating a hard cover book to each classroom. Thanks to them for all they do for us!
Yee-Haw! Our Fall Festival was a big hit! Thanks to Sue Agneta for coming and helping out Friday morning. The kids had a fun day of crafts, dancing, stories, and learning.
