Galt Museum Field Trip 

This is a picture of a learning activity we did to learn about the history of Lethbridge.  It was interesting to learn how the city grew, and students were interested to know that Lethbridge originally became a city because of the coal that was mined here.  We had an excellent field trip to the Galt Museum.  Our tour guide Belinda is so knowledgeable about our city!  Thanks Galt Museum for a fabulous learning experience! We will be back!

Happy Friday Everyone!
This week was an extremely busy week in 2C!

Happy Birthday River!  River was our Star Student today, and she also celebrated her 7th birthday earlier in the week.  I always learn new and interesting things about students on their star student day when they show and share items that are important to them, as well as give a presentation on themselves.  We have such a special class, and I love learning more about their likes and interests, as well as learning about their families, hobbies, and places they have visited.
   
We attended a Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym this morning and it ran so smoothly.  I was so proud of all the students who came into the gym so quietly and listened attentively to the presentation.  It is important to remember the brave men and women who fought and served for our country and who continue to serve.  In our classroom this week we had a great discussion about what it means to be Canadian and why we are proud of our country.
