Today in science class we discussed FORCE, MOTION and POSITION.
Take a look at this cool video of a grade 2 classroom. Maybe you want to try some of these
cool experiments at home!

March is Nutrition Month

It is important to be physically active each day. Taylor School is participating in Jump Rope for Heart this month. Have you thought about how are you fueling your body?

The following recommendations are for competition or intense training and would apply to physical activity lasting 60 minutes or longer; and stop-start sports.

A meal before competition or intense training should be high in carbohydrate, moderate in protein, lower in fat and consumed 3-4 hours before activity. Eat smaller amounts of similar foods if there is less than 2 hours before the event. Protein takes longer to digest–eat less close to strenuous exercise. Drink fluid with the meal.

Snow Days

Its another snow day folks! Stay safe! No buses running but town schools are open. We will try to run as normal a day as possible.

Goal Setting

Goal setting. When you think about goal setting, most people think about making New Year's resolutions which start off strong (you are feeling pumped about a new year and a new start) but then you find yourself falling into a slump in February and then slipping into a black hole by the end of March. What were your goals? Why were they important? What obstacles got in the way? Is it time to revisit and revise your goals?  

At the end of January, the class made 4 goals focused around behaviour we thought would make us better learners, better equipped to attack new strategies and learning and prepared us to be successful. By setting these goals and keeping them posted in the classroom, it reminded us what our beliefs are about the importance of learning and what we needed to do accomplish those goals. It helped that we could measure our progress on a chart and stayed positive - we had a pretty fun celebration prepared when we achieved our goal!

Its never too young to think about setting goals.
                                By setting goals students can:

1.improve their academic performance

2.increase their motivation to achieve

3.increase pride and satisfaction in performance

4.improve their self-confidence

This is how we celebrated our achievements today...


We had the best time having a marshmallow fight this morning! 

Tomorrow we are going to be talking more about our beliefs and what we want to accomplish next. 

Do you have family goals? Things you want to work towards? What do you do to work together as a team to achieve them? 

Sink or Float Science

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a science experiment? Today we made predictions and observed what happened when we dropped candy hearts into water, soda and vinegar. Ask your child tonight about their experiment! Ready to try something like this at home? Try "Dancing Raisins"
