Hello! (See the new student challenge!-------> )
I can't believe how hard the students (and parents!) worked in raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation. Students did great on our walk this morning, and we ended up raising the MOST out of all Grade 2 classes!! We had a friendly competition between our class and Mrs. Nelson's class, and in two days our class raised almost $300.00!!! WOW!! What a difference we can all make- thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
Because our students did SO well at this, I asked them to come to school on Monday with 'an idea' of how our class could celebrate. I made sure to tell them to make their idea 'reasonable', i.e. "Miss Tsentouros taking us all to Disneyland" is not a reasonable reward!! (Despite how awesome I think you all are!) If you can think of a unique way that we can celebrate (approx. 30 mins), let me know on Monday. We will collect our data, and graph it with a class vote.
Speaking of collecting data and graphing it, we are finishing up our first unit in Data Analysis. To prepare for a math assessment, students will be taking home a Data Analysis review near the end of next week. Keep an eye out for this in backpacks!
On Thursday your child brought home a note regarding 3 field trips that are coming up in the next few weeks. The note looked like this:

Wednesday, September 28th is our first field trip with the Galt Museum. Museum staff will be meeting us at Galt Gardens to guide us as we view historic buildings and listen to stories of Lethbridge’s fascinating past. As the Galt provides bussing, drivers will not be needed for this trip, however, I am in need of 5 parents to assist us and help volunteer. The bus will be picking us up from the school at 12:30 with a return trip of around 2:40ish. Parents are more than welcome to ride with us on the bus, but I’m sorry to say that due to City Guidelines, younger siblings are not allowed to ride on the bus. If you would like to join us in this field trip but have a little one to bring, you are also welcome to drive to Galt Gardens and meet us there. In either case, please let me know your plans. Weather at this time is unknown so please dress your child in appropriate attire as they are required to be an active participant outdoors.

Wednesday October 12th we will be transporting ourselves down to Fort Whoop Up. Students love this trip as we move from room to room in the Fort and learn even more about the great battle in the river bottom and the history of trading and the Fort in Lethbridge. Our tour begins at 1:00 and ends at 2:30. I am in need of parent drivers/supervisors to and from the Fort. If you are not able to stay for the tour but you are able to drive that is no problem at all.
Tuesday, October 18th is our second field trip with the Galt Museum at the Museum itself. The Galt Museum provides busing for their field trips and we will be picked up on Thursday at 12:30 with a return time of 2:40ish. Parents are more than welcome to ride on the bus with us, but you are also able to meet us at the Museum if you’d prefer. Due to City guidelines, there are no younger siblings allowed on the bus.
A reminder for all students please ensure that for Sept. 28th and Oct. 18th students have a packed lunch for school so that we leave on time.
I have received a few forms from volunteers but we are definitely in need of more. If you are able to join for any of these trips, please return the green form or email me back to let me know which ones you can attend. :)
Sasha in our class, kicked off our Star Student/ Special Friday schedule. She did an amazing power point, and shared her birthday treat as well. Great job Sasha! The class loved learning more about you, and everyone did a fantastic job writing a page for her book. A quick note if you are attending Sasha's birthday party tomorrow-the movie you will be watching is The Smurfs and it is to end around 9pm.
Thanks to those who have donated shoeboxes with lids! We are still collecting as we need 10 more! Along with shoeboxes with lids, we are also collecting cans- ones that are 540ml! So Grade 2s, if you're eating any Alphagetti's this weekend, please wash out the can and bring it to school! Thank you thank you thank you!

I think that's it for now! Thanks for a great week 2B!
