Welcome to another school year!
My name is Miss Lilley and I am so happy to be teaching grade 2 at Mike Mountain Horse this year!
We have an AWESOME class of 23 students. Parents, please visit this blog often for information regarding your child's class. Here I will post about spelling words, field trips, and upcoming events. A paper newsletter will be sent home early next week, and the next post will contain important information about our 2A class!
Thank you to the parents who have come to introduce themselves. If I haven't met you yet, I look forward to meeting you at the meet the staff night on September 10th! More information to come on that soon!
Sincerely,
Miss Lilley

Collaborative Video Story Project with Miss Lilley & Mr. Wevers
The students of Miss Lilley's class and Mr. Wever's classes have come together to create a very special collaborative video project. Grade 2 and grade 4 students together wrote captivating stories and then drew pictures and recorded the audio for their stories. The results are entertaining, impressive, and well...just simply FABULOUS!!!
A BIG HUGE thank you goes out to Mr. Wevers who spearheaded this project and taught his grade 4 students how to run the programs necessary to create these video stories. He also taught his grade 4 students to be good leaders in a group, so that they were able to lead the grade 2s to feel successful! We had so much fun with this project, and the grade 2 students have been able to see the fruits of their labour when they can now sit back and watch the videos that they created!
We hope you enjoy watching them as much as we had making them!
The videos are all uploaded onto Mr. Wever's blog:

We have just over one week of school left! Holy moly! This year has just FLOWN by!
This week we had a successful sports day on Tuesday. We were lucky to have a beautiful HOT day outside. It was perfect for an elementary school sports/ fun day!
This morning we went swimming as a class for our last field trip. What a fun day we had together!
We are wrapping things up here at school! A few upcoming events for next week:
Please expect to see more of your child's work and school supplies coming home starting next week. We want to make sure that nobody leaves any work or supplies here at school, so we start early to make sure children don't have to carry it all home on the last day of school.
On Thursday, June 25th I’d like to have a breakfast party with the children to say ‘goodbye’. Thanks to those parents who volunteered to bring in items for our breakfast/ brunch. Thank you to the following parents who offered to send the following items in for us:
Juice and napkins: Hayden
Healthy Muffins: Macgregor
Fruit Plate: Marah
Cheese and Crackers: Reese
Vegetables and Dip: Lacey
On behalf of the class, thank you very much for offering to send some items in for our breakfast. If other parents wish to send a treat or other item in, please feel free! We are a class that LOVES to eat together!!
We have such wonderful and supportive parents at Mike Mountain Horse! I am so grateful for all the extra help and volunteer hours people have put in. On behalf of the class and I, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It has been a fabulous year, and I can't believe it's almost over!

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 19th. 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 20th.
