Final Book Character dress up day

What a conclusion to our Spring into Reading month! Students showed up in full costume this Friday showing off their favorite characters. It was smiles all around in the morning as fresh faces showed up with some impressive costumes.

I would like to put out a special thank you to all the parents who helped out with their children during this month. A lot of effort was put in to each event to ensure the students were amazing and they were!!

Promoting reading is one of our goals at SIS and I can already see a general excitement surrounding literacy at school. The students are eager and excited to read and even more driven to improve.

Congrats students on a successful reading month!! Let’s keep up the positive attitudes :)

Pictures will be emailed to all parents from our book character day!

Great work this month students.

Mr. Lewis.

Maths Measurement unit has arrived!

Students had lots of fun with measurement this week. Beginning the unit, we explored non- standard units of measure with items right at our desks. Non-standard and standard units of measure will be explored throughout this unit.

It’s easy to record our measurements even at home. Be careful to choose the appropriate item to measure with and have fun measuring anything you find at home!! Report back and share when you come to class and we can discuss your results!! Great job students! :)

Beach Day :)

A cool 23 degrees for beach day in class last week. The students all showed up in classic beach attire. We saw shorts, flip flops, t-shirts, sunglasses, towels, and even beach toys and not forgetting our favorite books!

Here are some exciting photos from Beach Day!!

Raz-Kids is here!!

One of the worlds top leveled reading resources for students is here at SIS!. Our terrific two's will have full access to all of Raz-Kids online features.

Each student will have their own login and password giving them personal access to thousands of free online reading books and resources.

Most importantly, Raz-Kids literacy program is provided as a leveled reading resource where students can read at their own level while practicing at home to improve. Also, our leveled reading books we bring home every night match with Raz-Kids!. More selection of books while staying on track with our curriculum levels = awesome!!

Getting to the next level can be fun and with lots of different learning styles, students can enjoy online reading, listening, poetry, games, and many more exciting forms of literacy.

More information will be sent out shorty.

A great gift during our "Spring Into Reading" month!!

Baby chicken's in class??

Cluck, Cluck, Cluck

Baby chicks made an in class appearance last week during the conclusion of our "Life Cycles" unit.

Students did an amazing job creating the third stage of the chicken’s life cycle, the "baby chick" stage.

Everyone is born different, even little chicks!!

Great Job Students!!

CRAZY Hat Day!!!

SIS' first annual Crazy Hat Day!!

As a part of our Spring Into Reading month the students had lots of fun showing off their crazy hats.

It was each student’s responsibility to choose one of our grade two sight words to post on their crazy hat. By the end of the day students were not only having fun with words but with their crazy hats too.

Shown in the pictures we had many creative hats for the day. The terrific twos are really enjoying the special events this month and are continuing to improve their reading skills everyday. Great job everyone!!

Be sure to check the newsletter for upcoming events this month!!

PAJAMA DAY!

Another successful day for our terrific two's last week!!

Students had so much fun dressed up as real kids in their fantastic pajamas! It was so cool to see all the different stuffed friends that came along for the day as well. 

Students had a great time talking all about their stuffed animals and writing about them too! 

Check out the pictures from Pajama Day!!

The Math Fair!

What-a-success!!

Our very first Math fair at SIS was a complete success this past week. Putting their knowledge of surveying and data management to the test, the students hosted quite the afternoon of fun, games, and mathematics.

I am so proud of each and every student as smiles and positive attitudes filled the fair.

Our Terrific Twos played host to three separate classes during the fair, Mr. Dan's Grade 3 class, Miss. Crawford's Grade 1 class, and even Mr. Cusi's high school students.

Who said learning Math cant be fun!!!

All parents please check your email boxes as I have sent lots of pictures and a video from the fair.

Great job students keep up the hard work!!!
