-May pizza orders went home today and are due on April 28th

Today we were excited to get right down to work with our fairy tale writing! We began by brainstorming as a class the types of characters and settings that we expect to see in a fairy tale. We also discussed the patterns of things coming in 3's and 7's in fairy tales (three little pigs, goldilocks and the three bears, seven dwarves, etc.). Check out our planning work below! Tomorrow we will examine the concept of good versus evil in fairy tales, and will create our inciting incident, story events and story solution!

Today we also began our Altar display for our Earth Day liturgy on Friday! Awesome recycled art!

Today, we were excited to get to work on the next chapter of our Grade 2 journey with our preparations for our upcoming First Communion! We met with Mrs. S. from St. Francis parish, and we had a great time learning about the importance of the Eucharist and how to properly treat it, and we even got to see it up close! We also played a little game to test our knowledge of items that we see around the church during Mass...

Today we also began our planning maps for our upcoming writing unit: Fairy Tales! Here are some examples of our amazing work, and we will update you tomorrow about how we are planning the perfect fairy tale!

We also read the stories, Henry Holt Takes The Ice and Super Red Riding Hood with Mme. K. in the library today for our Blue Spruce voting, and we will be casting our final votes next Wednesday!

We had a fabulous day sailing the high seas with a celebration of our pirate literary writing unit! We used our story of Comment Je Suis devenu pirate (How I became a pirate) by Melinda Long as a mentor text to develop a story beginning, middle and conclusion. We enjoyed using our creativity with crafty pirate vocabulary to write our own three-paragraph stories. Check out our unbelievable work!

Pirate treasure chests full of addition and subtraction problems!

And then a sword fight broke out over a math game race!
