We had class outside a lot this week. We enjoyed our quiet morning walks, while taking in the sights and sounds of downtown. We adopted a spot on campus that we will observe and record the changes we see through the seasons. Ask your child about their spot...Where is it located? What living things can be found there? Why did they choose it?
It's fun to end the day with popsicles! We were bucketfillers and shared with the bus drivers. They deserve to have fun too!

After conducting whole group SOLE activities, we were able to finally do one on our own. I was amazed to see how well they did. Way to go First Grade Teachers. They shared so much of what they had already learned in grade one. CIS rocks!! Check out these kiddos in week 3 of grade 2, researching, Why do we celebrate Labor Day? We found out that Labor Day is not just a day off from school:) We also discovered that in some countries workers rights are not protected and in some places children must work instead of going to school. One student asked, "Why did we need to march and create laws for the number of hours and days of the week people work? Why didn't people just care about each other and do what is right?"
Oh, the innocence of children! I love what I do! Happy Labor Day everyone!
