Good afternoon Students and Families,
We have now completed another week of school and we have done a FANTASTIC job in learning our classroom routines and in learning to work with one another! The students are also discovering that the classroom is not only mine, but the classroom is OUR CLASSROOM - students included! We are a COMMUNITY and because WE are working together I am trying to give the students the freedom to express themselves and to use their own voices. It has been wonderful to see as they are beginning to open up and share things about their own lives as well as believing in themselves! They are figuring out that mistakes happen regardless of age and they are completely fine as we learn from these mistakes - we are taking risks in our learning to help ourselves grow =;)
Thank to you to ALL the families who were able to take part in our Google Meet this week and I have included the full PowerPoint presentation on our blog website (please go to the "Grade 2 Items" and click on the link to view what was presented on Thursday evening). If you have any questions, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible, thank you =;)
Upcoming Field Trips and Volunteering - A great BIG "Thank You" to the families and parents who have offered their time to help out during our learning experiences for our students. I have included the parents who do have their clearances for the upcoming Field Trips at the end of this month on our Monthly Agenda page. If you are interested in volunteering this year, please make sure your School and Police Clearances are up to date and we would LOVE to have you come and learn with us! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE =;)
Below are some pictures of the work we have done throughout the week. Please take some time as a family and share the wonderful things you are learning in class - have fun sharing and thank you for all your EFFORT and in BELIEVING IN YOURSELVES!
Keep up the great work, Grade 2 Students and Families,
Mr. Engel
