Hello Students and Parents!

Well we've been working up a sweat here in 2A!  If you were a fly on the wall, you would have seen a LOT of hard work happening in our class the past few months!  It's hard to believe that it's almost report card time again.  Wow!


Theobroma Cacao tree in Bali!  (Cacao = Chocolate!)

The grade two classes, and some grade 3s celebrated CHOCOLATE DAY last week.  All the children got to learn all about delicious chocolate.  The history of chocolate, where the ingredients are grown, and how chocolate is made.  It was fun to learn all about this magical tasting delicious treat that we all know and love! Yummy!




Here I am sharing my knowledge and love of CHOCOLATE!





RYAN MENNIE'S LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCE
We were treated to a VERY special live musical performance by Ryan Mennie of 94.1 FM.  We really enjoyed his spooky Halloween songs and his amazing pirate costume!  Thank you Mr. Mennie SO much for coming in and sharing your musical talent with us at MMH!
