Hello families and friends,

This morning we went to the Learning Commons with Mrs. Jones to review the procedure for signing out and returning books.  We also worked on our literacy skills in Daily 5, and then worked in our math groupings.  For Mr. Soulliere's math group; where do we use base-2, base-12, base-16, base-20, and base-60 number systems in our world?  Our words of the week for this week are "again", "give", "look", and "say" for grade ones, and "march", "call", "have", and "always" for grade twos.  Which two words of the week are not like the others, and how are they different?

Thank you to all of you who brought in money for cupcakes today!  It was a huge success and we raised a lot of money for the ASPCA.  Fortunately, we also had a LOT of parents who had volunteered to bake cupcakes for today.  As a result, we still have plenty left over.  So if your child would like to purchase another cupcake tomorrow, please send in $1 with them.  They will be sold in the morning while supplies last.

Next week on Wednesday and Thursday, March 9th and 10th, is our Student Led Learning Walk.  This will be in a similar format to the one held earlier this year.  Stay tuned for more information.

Have a great evening!
