OWL UNIT
Last week we started our next science unit – ALL ABOUT OWLS. This unit explores the grade two outcomes from “Growth and Changes in Animals”. I will be starting a read aloud novel called Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat. This story takes place in Saskatchewan and is about a boy with two pet owls named Weeps and Wol.

THANK YOU
Thank you to the parents who provided treats for our Valentine’s Day party.
