Thank you to parents who were able to attend our Grade 2 Remembrance Day Assembly. Students have worked so hard to prepare for the assembly and did brilliantly on Friday. To help us learn about the poem Flanders Field by John McCrae, we put it up as a wall story. A wall story is a high yield strategy from Miriam Trehearne, that is used to develop oral language and comprehension. Throughout our practices with reading the poem, we were able to learn a few new words such as 'scarce', 'amid', and 'quarrel'. (Please click on the words for definitions.) Try using these words in sentences at home! 

For those of you who may have missed the ceremony you can watch some parts of it here:

*A special request from Mrs. Buonomo: If you have the video of the students singing the peace song, could you please let me know through email (sibrar@cbe.ab.ca), as Mrs. Buonomo would like to watch it. 


Picture Retakes are taking place this Wednesday November 15th. If you would like retakes, please email me at sibrar@cbe.ab.ca. Only those who have requested retakes will get them, as the retake photo will replace the initial photo.
