Helping Nunavut

Grade 2 - Nunavut Stocking and Food Drive

We are learning about Nunavut in our Social Studies curriculum. There are only a few grocery stores and other stores in the Northern Communities which can make the holidays a challenging time for people in these communities. Food and other supplies can often be 2-3 times as expensive as they would be here in Calgary.

We would like your help with putting together a few boxes of stocking supplies and/or non-perishable food items to send to Igloolik through the 2019 Igloolik Food Bank Christmas Hampers.

If you are able to send in some items for a stocking stuffer, a stocking or non-perishable food items we would greatly appreciate your support. Items will be due November 14thand we will be sending the boxes on November 15th.

If you are able to contribute a pre-paid flat rate shipping box (large size) please email your child’s teacher to let them know before purchasing, as we would like to know approximately how many boxes we should plan to fill.

If you would like to know more about this cause, or would prefer to make a monetary donation please take a look on their website: feedingnunavut.com

Thank you!
Grade 2 Team Auburn Bay School
 
Here is the wish list we put together as a class today!

Warm Feet for the Street Campaign

Hi everyone,  I have had some of you ask about the Warm Feet for the Street Campaign that the Ambassador Club students are organizing and that all grade 4 classes are participating in. If you would like to make a donation we would love to take it. We are accepting donations until Dec. 13 so that the students in the Ambassador Club have time to stuff the socks. We have had a generous parent donate approximately 90 pairs of socks so we are needing stuff to put in them. Please click on the link for items the Mustard Seed accepts for this campaign and items they don’t accept. Thank you in advance for your continued support of our initiatives. This is a great way for our students to give back to our larger community and provide some warmth for those less fortunate this holiday season.   Here is the link should you wish more information as well as a wish list for donations: http://www.theseed.ca/assets/files/pdf/christmas_project/Warm%20Feet.pdf Thanks,  The ...

Ones & Tens

Today in math we explored the idea behind ones and tens. We talked about how many ones can actually go in the ones place (no more than 9!) and why we have to change them out to the tens when it becomes 10. We practiced creating numbers to 50 today using the ones and tens blocks. Check out some of our work!  Making the number 10 Making the number 17 Making 22
