 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today! Our morning work period was a lot calmer and more productive than yesterday, and we explored a new style of math problem in which the students had to examine a series of numbers and equations and identify what each one had in common with the others, and what made it different. These problems are all the rage right now.

We read some limericks aloud as a class, and then the students were faced with the difficult challenge of writing a new ending to this partial limerick:

"There once was a man with a beard,

Who said "It's just as I feared!"

so, for example, an ending could be:

"A dove and a wren,

  A lark and a hen,

  Have all made a nest in made beard!"

Limericks are a lot trickier than you would expect.

We spent a bit of time reading about the early days of Meteghan, and the history of the Acadians. The students also got to go to gym with Ms. Brown.

If you haven't had a chance to watch Ms. Brown's Grade 2/3 Conference Video, please do! It's awesome to see all the work she's done with the Grade 2/3's over the last few months.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! Please wear green. As a Montessori school focused on peace education, pinching is forbidden regardless of shirt colour (even if it's really not green). 

Have a nice night,
