Back from the Long Weekend!
Hopefully you all found some time to
get out and do something fun with the long weekend. This week is fairly
“normal”! No trips until next week!
SAAG
We will be heading to the Southern
Alberta Art Gallery to see the Arts Alive exhibit. It showcases artwork from
K-12 students in our city! Greta Jahn has a selected piece of work there and we
will be excited to search for it! Thanks to our drivers who will be transported
us to and from and joining us!

Hot Lunch will be on May 27th
if you chose to order!
On May 30th we
will be walking to Nicholas Sheran School to watch traditional pow wow dances
and in the past we have watched a tipi being raised and being put together.
Weather permitting we will be walking over as a school and you are more than
welcome to join us if you are interested.
Spelling words this week are for
everyone once again:
Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday – Friday – Saturday – Sunday – weekday – weekend – week
Sight words:
really – many – wanted – very – pretty
Boat Launch
Just a heads up about our boat launch! This is one of my
FAVOURITE activities in Grade 2! Right now we are learning about boats and
buoyancy. Students are learning about why/how things float, displacement,
building simple boats and materials that make a good boat. The launch will be
on June 12th
at Nicholas Sheran Lake. Students will need to have a boat built and ready to
bring to school by June
9th. We will be testing the boats at school for buoyancy and
their ability to carry a load (3 or 4 soup cans). I don’t expect boat building
to start yet as we still have a few more concepts to learn but I like to give
everyone a heads up so collecting materials and planning can start! ALL BOATS WILL BE BUILT AT HOME.
Students should be in charge of ideas and planning but will of course need
adult help. Recycled plastic bottles, Styrofoam, plastic and pool
noodles are all great materials. Ducktape is also helpful and waterproof! Boats should be a manageable size for students to carry
independently and able to fit in our water table for testing.
