Hello Grade Two Families,
We hope you had a lovely weekend together and enjoyed some time outside. We want to send a big THANK YOU to all families for your support and kind words of encouragement as we have navigated our first week of online learning.
We also want to acknowledge the great work you have been doing with your children. We know many of you are trying to balance work from home, while trying to engage your child in learning, and we know this is not easy. Thank you for completing the assignments we sent home last week, and for all your additional reading, writing, math, and art that you have worked on as well.
We have attached the online learning tasks for the whole week. The tasks can be completed in any order and do not need to be completed all at once. Please keep in mind around an hour a day is optimal. Please figure out a schedule that works best for your family, and try to send both assignments in the same email when completed.
The Grade Two team will be working on our Google Classrooms this week – please watch your email for information on how to get set up. Going forward, student’s assignments and work submissions will all take place in this location.
As always, if you have any questions regarding the learning or anything else, please let us know! We are super excited to see everyone at our first Google Meet video conference on Wednesday at 10:00 (please see previous email with set-up information).
The Grade 2 Team
Ms. Craig, Mr. Sandberg, Ms. Yoon, Ms. Lagrana, Ms. Quesnel

A message from Mr. Hamby:
As know, we have been given guidelines from Alberta Education that mandates we provide 5 hours of schoolwork per week focused on literacy and math. We also hope to offer some optional activities that you might consider having a look at towards the bottom of the template. Each week we also hope that you will be able to determine a schedule that works best for your family. We ask that you please be patient with this process as we all know technology can be a bit bumpy at times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assignments to be handed in this week to your teacher via email. Please email by Sunday, April 12th:
