Fabulous February!

February has finally arrived and there are many things to celebrate this month. In this first week, the grade two class has discussed Groundhog Day and read many different poems and songs related to it. As well, the boys and girls in Room 112 will study other February holidays such as Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, Black History Month, Family Day and Flag Day. In addition, the grade twos have been learning about and studying various famous artists. So far, they have imitated the artwork of Henri Matisse and Paul Klee. The beginning of 2010 has also been an opportunity for the grade twos to participate in some fundraising for Haiti through our school bake sale. We have shared and discussed what significant characteristics such as teamwork and fairness look and feel like everyday.
