I will be here tomorrow and Thursday 8-2pm if there is anything you have forgotten or if you have any last questions.
Otherwise, have a good one. I will. See you in 2 months :)
Mr. Beechey
Hi all,
Today we journaled about what we are looking forward to over the summer break. We practiced measuring larger things as we went outside and measured parts of the compound with our feet. After lunch we watched a movie that highlights the benefits of cooperation within the bug community. We did some gym and read a quick story before home time.
Reminders:
Tomorrow is the last day of school, It will be a normal school day so regular pickup time and lunch etc.
Class photos came home today, what a lovely bunch of humans we are :)
There will be a pillars or care/farewell assembly tomorrow at 1pm. Parents are welcome to attend.
Hi all,
This morning we handed in all our library books as it is the last week. If you have any at home, please return them ASAP! We talked about how to tell a quick story in a comic with an introduction, problem, and solution! They came home today if you want to read them. We did 41 for our number of the day. We did our last drumming lesson. Tomorrow we have a drumming assembly to show off what we've learned this year. We watched a Bill Nye about measurement because the weather did not cooperate for my lesson. Hopefully next week! We talked about life cycles of bugs and also did gym and sorted out our science folders.
Reminders:
Tuesday is the last day of school. It will be a normal full day.
There will be a goodbye assembly on the last day that parents are welcome to attend. Please join us in the gym at 1pm.
Report cards will be online. Check your mycbe account on the last day to access your child's marks and comments
Hi all,
This morning we organized all our monthly writing samples into a book to take home. The idea is that these are the kids own writing, no help from adults other than a word bank. You can see your kids progression over the year as we learn to write more and learn more techniques such as punctuation and spelling rules. Enjoy reading your children's work over grade 2!
We also did some mathletics and word work as we did the 'ng' comprehension passage. We played on the compound for gym and then put some more work in folders to take home.

Did you know that ladybugs lay dud eggs so that their babies have a healthy first meal waiting for them when they hatch? After lunch we prepared for our smudge by writing notes for our offering. We started measurement by talking about longer than and shorter than. We went on a community walk for gym and then did our smudge. We ended the day listening to a little more Jack and Annie's adventure in the jungle.
