 Reminders:

Thursday is Spirit Day you can dress in: Traditional clothes for Diwali if your family celebrates Diwali / Orange & Black or costume if your family celebrated Halloween / Your regular, everyday clothes if you are most comfortable…the choice is yours.

We are also made aware that some people may be celebrating Diwali on Friday, if you would like to wear your traditional clothes on this day, please do!!!! Wear your traditional clothing on whatever day you would like.

We will be going for a community walk on Friday.

Six pumpkins will be going home with students on Thursday.  If you do not want your child to be put in the raffle draw for a pumpkin, please email me at cdstewart@cbe.ab.ca


Highlights of Grade Two Today:

  • we had three rounds of literacy station and learned a new Word Work station!
  • we added up all the seeds we had in our pumpkins and it was 3045 seeds!! WOW!
  • we worked on our Pattern City and then Mayor Stewart taught us about the explanation sheet that we also need to do before we can be hired to build our Pattern City!
  • we created our Jack-O-Lanterns with our group! We had to work together to come up with a design we could all agree on, then sketch it on to the pumpkin and then carve it! 
  • we went to gym today.

There is no school on Monday October 14th for Thanksgiving Day.  School will resume on Tuesday October 15th.
