Greetings Parents
and Students,
Thank you to the
SAC for the yummy ice cream treats we ate last week during 10:30 recess. We
really enjoyed the cones!!!
I hope everyone
had a FABULOUS long weekend! This week
we have been busy working on puppetry, dialogue and drama based on the story The
Sandwich by Ian Wallace. The children will perform their dialogues on
Friday using the puppet theatre. As
well, George Bothwell librarian, Marilyn, shared fractured Red Riding Hood
fairy tales with us on Tuesday afternoon.
We are busy creating “thank you cards” to present her with.
Grade 2 math
emphasis continues to be collecting data; using tallies and check marks, and
creating lists/charts. The children have
had a blast asking friends about sports activities, ice cream treats and more
and then interpreting and presenting their results to the class using the data
projector.
Our handsome STAR
OF THE WEEK was Nate, who shared, with excitement, about his new family member,
Tucker, an 8 week old Chocolate Lab puppy.
Nate is an only child who enjoys traveling with his parents and spending
time with them at the cabin. He likes to
downhill ski and to ride his quad. He
has 2 cats and another dog. He enjoys
playing soccer and collecting Lego.
For French we
played some transportation sorting games and categorized based on water, land,
and air. We will wrap up this unit and
move onto zoo animals in June.
On Thursday morning,
Weather Specialist, Tiffany Lizée, of Global News, visited our classroom, talking with the children and sharing a very
informative power point presentation with the class. Ask your child which colour NOT to wear if
filming at Global News and why. Tiffany’s
wardrobe is her own. She does her own
hair and make-up. The crew works as a
TEAM and their workspace is windowless. She
talked about the editing process of writing news pieces and how editing may
occur over 6 times per article. Some
of the cameras cost $20 000.00 each.
The Morning Crew is at work at 3 a.m. to deliver the 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
news.
Tiffany grew up on a farm in southern Saskatchewan and was constantly
exposed to the ways and wonders of the weather. She loved watching Saskatchewan storms and
studied in Edmonton after high school, becoming a weather specialist! She is presently studying to become a meteorologist,
via correspondence through Mississippi State University.
Tiffany did an EXCELLENT job keeping the children engaged and excited to learn about her workplace and job! Thanks again!
