Twisting by the Pool!!!!

We are fortunate enough to be able to go swimming three times this summer as a class.  Thanks to all parents who were/are able to come and assist in the supervision, without you we would not be able to go!

Tabloid Day Assembly and Canada Day

Today we had our annual Taylor School Tabloid Day Assembly and Canada Day Birthday Party! Congratulations to all, and in particular to the winning teams. All students showed great sportsmanship and team spirit and we salute you. After the assembly, the entire student body enjoyed a hot dog barbecue, complete with the singing of our national anthem and Happy Birthday to Canada. Did you know Canada is 144 years old this year! Thanks to all the parents who helped with the Canada Day BBQ!

Fantastic Friday the 13th...

Some people say that Friday the 13th is a very unlucky day, but it was far from that for Grade 2B.  It started with a fantastic introduction to opera, 'The Brothers Grimm" , performed by the University of Manitoba Opera Theatre. The students thoroughly  enjoyed the stories of Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rumpelstiltskin.

 

On Friday afternoon , Superintendent of  the Swan Valley School Division Marilyn Marquis-Forster, who was on visitation to Taylor School, had the opportunity to join us in the computer lab. Students were working on posting to their personal blogs about the trip to the SVRSS , and were very excited and proud to show what they know about being "Bloggers".  Currently signed up for the 30 day Free Trial, students then logged into the DreamBox  Learning K-3 site. DreamBox Learning K-3 Math provides a phenomenal level of individualized math instruction. Dynamic adaptations, based not just on answers but on strategies, enable every student to excel. The online learning program lets students work independently, keeping all learners, from struggling to advanced, in their optimal learning zone. It is truly one of the best online math sites that I have come across , fitting in very nicely with our Manitoba Mathematics curriculum outcomes.  I'm sure your son/daughter has mentioned this site at home.

 Thank you for coming and spending some time with our class!

Such a big school, and we did not even get lost , well maybe once , but Mrs. Ann Barbour-Stevenson made sure we held true to the course. Thanks to all of the teachers and students at the Regional  who made our morning so much fun!!! Check these out...
