Hello again!
You’ve made it to the classroom blog! Please add this page to your favourite’s list, or remember that it is linked to our school website under Grade 2. It seems like we have settled quite nicely and have started the Grade 2 year off well! There are 24 busy bodies in room 8 this year- we have 14 girls and 10 boys:

If I do not have your email yet, please write it in your child’s agenda, or email me whenever possible! I promise to only bombard your email inbox when it’s important, and when I am updating the blog.
Thank you to those families who made it to “Meet the Teacher/ Family BBQ” night! It was nice to have the Grand Opening of the new playground and just to see some of the faces who volunteered their time and efforts in making that happen!
If you weren’t able to come, there are some forms in your child’s backpack today that are important! Please fill out and return the Volunteer and Driver forms when you can, as it’s nice to get that paper work out of the way before things get super busy. There is a small yellow Highlights Magazine subscription offer as well. Highlights is a great resource and has been for CENTURIES!! Well, maybe not centuries but it’s been around for a long time and it is fun for the students to receive snail mail. Even if you are NOT interested in signing up for this, please check off “NO”, sign it, and return it as they will STILL send out free classroom prizes depending on the number of returned slips.
We still have some empty slots for our Party Snack Sign up list throughout the year. This will be posted outside our door all year long. If you’re unable to make it to our classroom but want to help, ask your child to sign up for you- I will help them with this so you’re not “volunteered” to bring steak and lobster J
Every student needs to sign up for a “Star Student” week. This is a special week dedicated to them, where they get special privileges, and then on their “Special Friday” they get to have a Show and Share. This is bigger than in Grade 1, and involves about a 10-15 minute presentation for the class, showing something interesting about them. It could be a skill, something they’ve learned, teaching about a family vacation, anything really! I’ve seen just about anything such as poster boards, power points, video clips, or prized possessions. This is to be educational, and for the class to learn more about their classmates. There will be more information about this coming home, as well as reminders for when your child’s Star Student week is. For those who do not have a week yet, I will help them sign up for one on Monday.

Would anybody like to be our CLASSROOM REP for School Council?! This is an amazing council that organizes really events and fundraisers for our school! There are meetings once a month, beginning at 7pm and usually last for a couple of hours. This is your chance to be in “the know” for our school, to lend a hand when possible, and to offer ideas/ suggestions! Anyone is invited to attend these meetings, however it is nice when there is at least 1 person who can make the once a month commitment and to relay any information back to me when needed for our class. If this is something you’re interested in, please let me know!
Some September dates to mark in your calendars:
