MacPhail Woods - Friday June 3rd!

I am excited to announce we will be heading out on another field trip..this time to MacPhail Woods in Orwell! Our experiential learning is in support of Science curriculum "Animal Growth and Changes". The rain date will be Friday June 10th. What To Bring: - hardy snack and lunch - load up on drinks (preferably water!) - dress in comfortable clothing and sneakers - don't forget the bug spray and sunscreen!

Our tadpole adventure was postponed and we WILL reschedule based on the day-to-day "black fly" forecast!!! The first nice day that brings in a gentle breeze, we will make our way outdoors to discover the habitat of tadpoles and gather some to investigate and journey with them through the life cycle of the frog!

We are heading to get some Tadpoles! We are beginning a new unit in Science next week and exploring life cycles is a huge part of our learning... Please send bug spray (if you have any) and maybe a hooded jacket or sweater would be nice, in case the bugs are bad.

Book Orders due back Thursday May 4th!

Final Tally!

We are very proud to announce that our face painting was a success!! Not only did the morning run smoothly and inject a great energy into our class community, we were able to raise $72 in support of the PEI Easter Seals Campaign! I am so proud of my grade 2 friends who took on huge responsibility and did an amazing job with their face art. EVERYONE had a hand it's success...from face painters, to runners, money collectors, to promotional advertisers!lol Also a big shout out to our fantastic grade 6 volunteers that helped make our event a success. You rock! Finally, thank you Donagh parents for supporting your children and our efforts to make a difference for others! A proud teacher here...

Easter Seals Fundraiser! In support of Easter Seals, grade 2 friends will be offering face painting on Tuesday April 11th for grades K-4! Bring your donation of $1 for this fun opportunity to have your face painted for the day! Options are as follows: Kitty Cat, Puppy Dog, Tiger, Symbol (peace sign, hockey stick, heart n' arrow, Ringette stick and ring)

Easter Cards

We brainstormed a list of ideas on how we could make a difference in someone else's life either in our community or globally. Students then voted in the ideas they liked best. The highest ranking  idea was an Easter card project. Students made Easter cards for sick patients at the QEH for the Easter holiday! They are sweet cards and will go a long way to those who will be hospitalized over the holiday and not feeling well.

I am hopeful that a parent might be interested in volunteering todeliver our cards for next week.  We would be grateful!
