Welcome to Room 2's blogs (grade 1 and 2)!
We will be posting blogs on Wednesdays and Fridays with highlights and reminders for students and families to read.
Highlights:
- Math - we were introduced to graphs and then created a class picture graph using everyone's birthdays! We learned that most students in room 2 were born in November, January, and April.
- Art - We learned about self portraits and then created artwork that is inspired by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein - who uses Ben Day Dots. We started with an outline of our faces. Next we will be working on adding colored dots.
- We really enjoyed meeting each other and getting to know who is in our classroom as well as the other grade 1 and 2s in room 1.
Reminders:
- This year we are going to recognize student birthdays in a new way. In the past some families would send a treat with their child on their birthday to be shared with their classmates. We are requesting that treats are no longer sent for children’s birthdays. We would like to recognize students through a weekly announcement and small birthday “gift”.
- Our annual welcome back potluck BBQ is on Thursday, sept 12 from 5 to 7pm (oldest siblings of Dr. Coffin will get a form that are to be returned by Monday, Sept 9)
- This Friday is our first Fresh Air Friday, where we will be learning outdoors. Please arrive to school on Friday dressed for the weather and prepared to learn outside.
