Hello everyone! This morning Room 2 went outside into the garden to do a thought page on the rose hips. Ask me about it! Today we worked on our Social Studies timeline of Alberta. We began our reading groups today. Students have guided reading books they are bringing home. As they finish them, they can return them and exchange for two or three more. When they are reading the books at home, please have the students do the reading and ask them different questions about what they have read. Please remember to return your field trip forms.
