 Dear loving families,

This week:

* We had student nurses visit us. They were showing us how to wash our hands better. They put fake germs on our hands that glow in the dark. Then after we washed our hands they checked if we got all the germs off. Then they gave us a sticker. We also had some colouring sheets to do while they were with us.

* In Art we made a minion of ourselves. It was very funny and cute.

* This week we got a postcard from Niagara Falls and we sent a postcard to San Diego.

* Today we celebrated C.C.'s birthday. In gym she picked the games Museum, Octopus and Angry Cats. At the end of gym we did calm bodies. This afternoon she gets to pick the story we read.

* Every day at snack time Mrs. Marta reads to us. Right now we are reading The One and Only Ivan. We are at the part where Julia and George are going to put Ivan's sign up on the billboard. We think Ruby will get to go to the zoo. (Ruby is baby elephant and Ivan is a Silverback Gorilla)

* In Stem we checked if we poked sharp pencils in a bag of water if the water would stay in or come out. It stayed in. The Stem teacher asked us which bag was more expensive Ziploc or a plastic bag.

* In Music we sang the Hello song. We also met a new teacher (a substitute). We also did Freeze Dance.

* In Science we talked about living and non-living things.

We hope you have a great weekend!

Dear incredible families,

This week:

* We made Salvadore Dali birds with paint. He is a very talented artist who does surrealistic art. Surrealism means not real. The art is not what you expect. Our birds have really long legs. They have feathers, antennae, wings and tails made of interesting things.

* We did some Thanksgiving writing. We wrote about what we are thankful for. We made a bad copy and a good copy, and then we coloured in a Thanksgiving dinner.

* We watched a video about Mojo. He thought he wasn't smart enough for the math questions because they got harder.  At first he argued a bit and didn't want to. Then when he was doing the questions he was exercising his brain. When he was about to leave his friend told him, "You can do this. Don't stop. You will get better." We learned you can do stuff even if it's hard.

* In Gym we played Diamond Tag, Zombie Tag, Skittles, What Time is it Mr. Fox and Evolution.

* In Music we played the indigenous drums. With the drums we had to follow the pattern Mrs. Jones did. The teachers made the drums from scratch. We played the hello song. We also played the "Dollar Song" game.

* This week in Stem we made a flower out of a coffee filter. We put water droplets from and eye dropper on it. It looked like it was growing because it expanded.

Thank you for reading our blog by Mrs. Marta's grade 2/3 class.

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!
