For Outreach Night, students in grade 2 have decided to raise money and collect needed supplies for theCalgary Humane Society.
In class we have been learning how to identify and count coins. To connect this with our Outreach project,we ask all families at West Springs to consider donating their spare change to this cause. Every cent counts! In addition, we ask that you consider donating a “wish list” item: https://www.calgaryhumane.ca/donate/wishlist/ During the evening of December 7th, we will have coin counting and “animal advice” card-making stations set up. Please join us! Collection containers will be located in the main office as well as in all grade 2 classrooms. Monetary and wish list donations will be collected prior to the event and during Outreach Night. Thank you to all parents who came to conferences. It was great to have your child share all the wonderful things they are doing and learning in grade 2. Have a great weekend!
Inline skating starts Monday! If you are volunteering please show up at our scheduled times (see calendar on our website homepage).
Students have finished their 3rd week of Word Work (aka Spelling). Starting Monday, if they have not completed the booklet they have to take it home to finish it. I did give them the option to take it home this weekend. I have updated the November calendar on the homepage of our website. There is a lot going on in November and December will be busy too! With all the snow and cold please make sure your child is going to school with proper winter attire. These are winter jacket, winter pants, winter boots, winter gloves, scarves [preferably tube scarves as these can't get caught on playground equipment] and hat [toque]. We still go outside when it is snowing and when it is cold. We do not go outside when it is colder than -20 degrees celsius. Lastly, please see the weekly math game on our math page - it should be on their by Friday afternoon. It is the day after the Halloween Howler and I appreciate those of you who took your children to this fun event. The students had a chance to share about the fun they had. I have a few things to update you on:
MATH GAMES Starting today we will be playing a math game at the end of the week. The instructions for the games we play will be posted on our MATH page. Please take the time to play with your child as these are games that correspond and support what we are doing in math. FOOD DRIVE The food drive is in full swing. If you have non-perishable items to donate please send them with your child to put in the boxes at the front entrance of the school. INLINE SKATING Inline skating forms have gone home. We would love it if you could volunteer, even if it's for just one day. Please email me if you would like to volunteer. Family Grouping starts next Friday October 13. Here is a list of who belongs to what colour:
Bella, Charlie, & Gabi - Orange Isaac, Eric & Libby - Dark Blue Kaelyn, Jaidyn, Griffin, Rya & Cohen W. - Green Samuel, Chloe, Cohen H. & Anneek - Pink Connor & Arash - White Rachel & Olivia - Black Tyler & Sura - Purple Jemma - Red What a great first week! We had the opportunity to spend lots of time getting to know each other. It was good to hear that everyone had a fantastic and safe summer. Thank you to those of you who came and introduced yourself to me on the first day, it was nice to meet you. I look forward to meeting all of you during conferences on Sept. 21 or Sept. 22 (sign-up after 4pm on Sept.14). Next week we will be jumping into a more settled and regular routine.
Welcome back to West Springs School. You are about to embark on grade 2. It looks to be a fantastic year with lots going on and lots to accomplish. Our first day back is Tuesday Sept. 5th. School starts at 9:10am and finishes at 3:50pm. There is a Frequently Asked Questions file below to help you get ready for the school year. Don't forget your indoor shoes! I will meet you close to the playground just before school. See you soon.
