My 2s had so much fun testing their homemade insulators! Their excitement seeing how long their ice cube lasted was so contagious! Madonna Catholic School Elk Island Catholic Schools #calledtomore #handsomscience #scienceisfun

Made some adorable little bunny friends to inspire some story writing with my 2s today! Can't wait to see what adventures my students bunnies go on! Madonna Catholic School Elk Island Catholic Schools #calledtomore #eastercraft #EasterBunny #storywriting #learning #writing #grade2

To tell the story of Easter we used #resurrectioneggs and the story #benjaminsbox with my gr 2s. My Ss loved seeing what surprise was in each egg! They can hardly wait in anticipation of what they will find in egg 12 after Easter! Madonna Catholic School @EICSfaith_well #calledtomore

Made resurrection rolls with my 2s today to celebrate that Jesus has Risen! It's such a concrete way to show an empty tomb and that Jesus has returned. I love seeing their reaction when they break then open! #calledtomore Madonna Catholic School Elk Island Catholic Schools #ibelieveincatholiceducation

So in love with this addition for my prayer corner with our divisions theme! Can't wait to frame it and set it up! Here's to a great year and we truly are #bettertogether Elk Island Catholic Schools Madonna Catholic School

First day of school for Miss Q and her mama! Q has started grade 4 this year and I'm blessed to be in grade 2 again! Here's to an amazing start to the year! #BetterTogether Madonna Catholic School

One of my favourite 1st day activities in 2nd! We read 'Alma & the Worry Stone' and talk about our first day feelings and worries. After we make our very own worry stones to help take all our worries away! It was cute hearing they even slept with them! #BetterTogether Madonna Catholic School

#LestWeForget Today and everyday we pause, reflect and remember. Thank you my grandfathers and uncles who made sacrifices for our freedoms ❤️

What a fun night building an Advent Wreath with my girls! Thank you to Madonna Catholic School for putting this on! We can't wait to light these candles, share the prayers and start a new tradition as a family 💕 #advent #christmasseason #adventwreath

Cutest little birthday bouquet from my grade 2s! So lucky to spend the day with them! They were so sweet singing happy birthday and showing this off 💕

This week we had our Shepherd on the Search join our class to help my 2s prepare their hearts for Jesus's birth! He has been moving around the classroom leaving verses and quotes that remind us how much God and Jesus love us ❤️ Madonna Catholic School Elk Island Catholic Schools #Advent #Christmastradition

Finished up these little pocket rosaries for 3 of my grade 2s who are receiving the sacrament of holy communion tomorrow! I hope these remind them that God is always with them 🙏 #rosary #firstcommunion #sacrament #grade2 #grade2teacher #ibelieveincatholiceducation Madonna Catholic School

Some of the ways we have found our Sherpherd on the Search last week! #Advent #ibelieveincatholiceducation #Christmas

My favourite session today at #NCTCA2023 was #buildingthinkingclassrooms with Alicia Burdess! I'm ready to try this out in my classroom after this! Thank you for giving me the push I needed!

In a world where you can choose to be anything, choose to be kind! #pinkshirtday2023 #ChooseKindness #PinkShirtDay

While at the Donkey Sanctuary, we learned this very cool tidbit about the donkeys cross! And sure enough, they each have one. This is one thing I will be sharing with my students for years to come! #ibelieveincatholiced #donkeyscross #teacherlife #catholicschoolteacher

My classroom is ready for this new year with my grade 2s! Excited for our new theme 'Go light our world!' I know my students will shine this year! I also love some of the motivational framed posters this year! #BackToSchool #GLOWEICS #newschoolyear

My #pumpkinjack is all ready for my 2s tomorrow! We are going to learn all about the pumpkin life cycle with this cute little guy! #GLOWeics #newsciencecurriculum #science #grade2 Madonna Catholic School
