Reminder: NO SCHOOL TOMORROW (FRIDAY DECEMBER 2nd, 2016)!!

Reminder: Field trip to The Slipper will be on Tuesday December 6th. It is important to be on time that day so you don't miss the bus to the Theatre. 

Today we were asked if we had any interest in helping pack backpacks for Stephens's Backpacks. There was so much interest in Room 74 that we decided to do a challenge in order to decide because we can only have 1 student from each grade 2 class. If you are interested in doing this on Monday December 12th, after school and from 3:35-4:45 pm please write a letter to Mrs. Lagrana explaining why you want to do it and why you think Stephen's Backpacks is important.

I will accept the letters on Monday and a form will come home on Tuesday for the one student who is picked based on the letter they write.

Today we continued our boat challenges but we added Cargo to our boat. We wanted to see how many cargo our boat could hold in the wind and in the rain. Ask me about how my boat did and ask me what I learned about my boat. We then completed a bar graph for our results. On Monday we will test in a hurricane and in a rainstorm. Ask me how I think that my boat will do and why?

We did self-editing on our Pioneer Journals today. We are so excited to bring them home next week and share with you all of our writing about Frank, Alberta more than 100 years ago!

Have a great long weekend!!
