Hello Students and Parents!

Report Cards went home today and I am so pleased with all the student progress going on in 2C this year!

Celebration of Learning

This note went home on Friday. If you missed it, here it is again.

The school year is going so quickly!  The March Celebration of Learning is approaching soon.  We are excited to share what we have learned so far in grade 2.  Our Celebration of Learning is on the evening of Thursday, March 19^th.  There are 20 minute time slots available on our website’s conference manager which can be found at www.mmh.lethsd.ab.ca.  We hope that you will be able to choose a time that suits you.

Your child’s teacher will be in the classroom throughout the time you spend with your child, as well as other parents with their children.  This is a time to focus on the wonderful things that your child has accomplished this year.  We are looking forward to maintaining a very positive tone throughout the evening.

Please try and come on your scheduled time to avoid confusion and overcrowding in the classroom. If the times available do not work for you and your child, please contact your child’s teacher to set up another time that suits you.  If after the Celebration of Learning next Thursday, you still wish to meet to discuss your child’s progress, please speak with your child’s teacher about a possible meeting time on the morning of Friday, March 20^th.

ONE SCHOOL ONE BOOK LAUNCH!

Today was a very exciting day at Mike Mountain Horse School.  We revealed our book that we will be reading for our much anticipated "One School One Book" project.  We will be reading the classic novel ,"Charlotte's Web!".

Here is the official blog for our project.  Please click here to follow along with our events:

http://oneschoolonebookmmh2015.blogspot.ca/

A book and parent letter went home with students today.  In it, the guidelines for our project are outlined.  Please be prepared to set aside time EACH NIGHT to read with your child.  The goal of this project is to have the parent or adult read to the child, not the child reading to the adult.    We hope you love and cherish this book as much as we do.  Although it might be tempting to move ahead chapters once you start reading, please just follow the schedule as outlined.

Tonight, (Monday, March 2nd) please read chapters 1 and 2.
