TWAS in pictures!

We've had a busy, but emotional short week at school. Students enjoyed the day off on Monday while teachers were working on report cards all day.

On Tuesday, Room 31 kids LOVED having the entire morning to work on Science Design Projects . . . which have turned out fantastic! No two projects are the same! I love it! :) Hopefully we'll get a video up soon to share the entire process! Ms. Palamar visited our classroom with some sad news about the passing of Matt's dad. Our hearts go out to Matt and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Please see a note in your child's agenda (sent home today) regarding something that Room 31 wants to put together for Matt and his sisters.

On Wednesday, we had a school-wide assembly to wrap up "I LOVE to Read Month". It was super fun to listen to the "progressive stories" read aloud and really neat to have DEAR time in the gym with the entire school population! The students also had a "pop quiz" in Science . . . which I had warned them about the day before. Soooooo it wasn't really a pop quiz, was it?!



Yesterday was a low-key day . . . we created cards for Matt, played multiplication bingo, visited our Grade 2 Book Buddies, and worked hard during Music in preparation for the upcoming Music Festival. A few students attended the funeral for Matt's dad, as did I. It was a beautiful tribute. Some of you may know that I went to high school with Matt's parents, so I was really fortunate to have known Matt's dad, and be able to celebrate the amazing person he was!

Today was Hot Lunch - always a crowd pleaser! Ha! It was also "Dress like a Book Character day". Students worked on their European Explorer research as well.

And that was our week.




I'm appreciating that the days are getting longer, and looking forward to warmer weather! Do you think March will come in like a lion or a lamb?!

Thanks for being you.
