It is hard to believe that we are now passing our 16th day of school!  So much has happened in these first weeks, and we have had many different kinds of “first Gr. 2 lessons“!  As well, all our Class Pets have now arrived and we have seen our first Chickadees and Hummingbirds come to our window bird feeders. We went into the “Sanctuary” courtyard  and fed the big Koi fish.  Our “Special Helper of the Day” is in full swing and we have organized our “Table Helpers“. Our first Spelling Tests and Homework assignments were a big success.  Our first Good Stuff Assembly had a super Slide Show by Mme. Proulx, our new principal, and we enjoyed a whole-school performance by Andy the Musical Scientist. (Click on the link to see Andy in action.)  We gave our best effort at the Terry Fox Run and had almost all our parents attend Open House.  We have had Library, Music, and Computer times.  Whew!  That’s a lot of “firsts” and it’s only some of the things we have done!

Here are some photos of one of our favorite times in the day…
“Shared Reading”.

We hope you enjoy reading our  Blog and “peeking into” Classroom 2!  You are welcome to add your own comments too!
