Ralph Klein Trip Cancelled: Due to the forecasted temperatures dropping into the minus 40 degrees range for the next two days we will need to post pone the grade 2 Field Trip to Ralph Klein Park tomorrow and Thursday. Although the students can remain indoors at the site we do not want to risk any potential mechanical failures with the bus that would put our students at risk of exposure to the weather for a prolonged period. We are in the process of trying to reschedule our trip and will advise parents as soon as e have new dates.

In writing we have been working on poetry. We have been learning about smilies and alliteration. Today we also wrote an If I where poem . . . Ask me about what I wrote about and whether I used a smilie or alliteration.

In math we have been working on a math problem based on the book P. Bear's New Years Party. You can listen to the book and try to problem at home. We have been discussing different strategies to solve the problem and been using CUBES to help us read and solve problems.

We have been inspired by Ton Schulten's art to create an art piece of the Ralph Klein building. Ask me to describe (what do you see?), analyze (What can you tell me about the colours?), interpret (Why do you think the artist made it?), and evaluate (How does the art make you feel?) the following art piece.
