Grade 2

October 23-27

Hello Grade Two Families,

This week, the students made beautiful artwork, showing the changing colours of the leaves during fall. Together we discussed warm and cool tones, and incorporated patterns into our artwork. Their creativity was unbe-leaf-able!

It was also wonderful meeting with all of you and chatting about how your child is doing in Grade Two. I really appreciate the opportunity for us to meet in person and talk about how we can work together to best support your child. As I mentioned at the end of the conference, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know so we can continue to openly communicate throughout the year.
