Day 47

Our Christmas Concert is coming up on December 15, 2016, at Bur Oak Secondary High School.  Please help your child to prepare for the concert by reviewing this song with them on a regular basis.  At the night of the performance, students are asked to wear a white shirt, blue jeans and sunglasses.

Christmas Shopping Blues

Performed by Mrs. Maybury’s Grade 2s

Christmas shopping just can’t wait.  

I swear next year, I won’t leave it this late.  

It’s now December twenty-four, 

So grab my list head out the door.

Hit the mall without delay.

Christmas shopping blues.

I drive around for half an hour,

Can’t find find a place to park my car.

The lot is full there is no space.

I cannot find a parking place.

I’ll grow old before I park.

Christmas Shopping blues.

Boys 

Do, do, do, do 

Do, do, do, do-waaaa

Girls

Do ba, do ba, do ba, do ba, do-baaaa

Everyone

do, do, do, ba, 

Do-ba, do-ba, do-waaaa

Spent all my money, my credit card is maxed.

Spent all my money, my credit card is maxed.  

Work all year to pay the bills. 

Christmas shopping blues. 

Work all year to pay the bills. 

Christmas shopping blues. 

Day 37 - Halloween

We all survived!  The kids were all way too excited about Halloween, so I put our math test off to later on in the week.  If you are going out trick-or-treating, please be safe.

Day 32

Our class will be performing at next week's Gator Gathering!  The Gator Gathering will take place on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 2 p.m.  You are welcome to come and watch.  Please help your child prepare for the performance by helping them to learn our song.

Days 25-31

Picture day was this week and the students looked wonderful!

We have been busy working on our skip counting.  By now, your child should be able to skip count by 2s, 5s, 10s, and 25s up to 200 and backwards from 50.  We will have a test next week.

Students have also started to learn about Diwali.  Below, please find the video that we watched in class.

(Hmm....in my draft post, I can see the video but on the live blog, it seems to disappear.  If you cannot not see the video, click here.)

If you have pictures of your family celebrating Diwali and are willing to have them displayed in our front hall cabinet, could you please send them in?  They will be returned to you the first week in November.

Please be advised that we have several cases of lice in our school.  Remind your child not to share hats, combs and brushes with their friends.  We are also reminding students with long hair to wear it pulled back.

Happy Friday!

Picture Day

Just a reminder that tomorrow is picture day.

Day 25

Today students are going home their Science Notebooks and special Spelling list.  Mrs. Pegg will be giving students a quiz next week Tuesday.

Days 18-24

It sounds like you all had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend!  I hope that everyone took time out to relax and spend time with the family.  On this Thankful Tuesday, most of the kids expressed how thankful they are for their families.

On Friday I sent home students' "Thanks for Thanksgiving" book, along with a rubric for the work that they completed.  If you have not already done so, please review the rubric with your child, sign and return it to school.  Please note that only the pink rubric needs to be returned to school.

Don't forget to pack your child's agenda every day.

This afternoon, we attempted to login to the chrome books for the first time this year.  Unfortunately, it was more difficult than I had hoped.  Since our failed attempt, I spoke to our on site computer technician and he believes that he has figured out what the problem was.  We will give it another go tomorrow.

A huge thank you to all of the families who raised money for the Dance-a-Thon.   To date, 90% of the students have come in with a donation and we are currently in first place.  Yay, us!  The dance-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 14, 2016.
