Sept 13

Welcome back to Ranchlands School & welcome to grade 2. We have had a busy start up to our year & there are lots of changes to learn about this year.
Here are a few highlights:
- Soft entry will be open from 8:55 - 9am; arriving after that means your child will play outside until the bell at 9:10am.
- We DO NOT have a morning snack.  Please ensure your child has a good breakfast that will last them until lunch time at 12:25pm.
- The whole school has recess together from 2:30-2:45.  They are allowed an afternoon snack at that time. On Fridays recess is from 10:35-10:55am.
- Meet the teacher is coming Thursday, Sept 19 in the evening & Friday Sept 20.  I look forward to meeting you.  Parents can start signing up Sept 13 at 4pm.

Jeff Stockton is our artist in residence this year.  He is an amazing storyteller & harpest.  We have had one session with him & will see him daily next week.  Save the evening of October 3 for a family story telling celebration here at Ranchlands.
Check out his website!

We are getting to know each other & what makes us all unique.

We were introduced to Beatrice, The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes. Through her we realized that making mistakes is part of life & often a good opportunity to learn.  It's always better to try & be incorrect then not to try at all.

In math we are learning about patterns.  Ask me what the CORE of the following patterns are.
