Our "BIG" celebration is finally here!

February may be the shortest month of the year, BUT it is also one of the busiest months of our school year!  This February, The Lunar New Year, Valentines Day, our 100th Day of Grade 2 AND  a birthday all landed around the same time!  So, as a class we decided to hold one BIG party to celebrate all these special days!  Well!  That day is finally here - tomorrow, February 19th!

A very active committee, (made up of 6 great little planners) has been organizing this big day for a couple of weeks.  They made a list of things to do, made up a sign-up sheet for food classmates can bring to share, and planned the day (which will include, physical activities, arts and crafts, lots of counting, games, a movie, and of course, FOOD!) 

Today, with a little help from our visitor, Ms. Bake and our teacher Ms. Quon, the six children gave up their gym time to set up the classroom, cover tables, decorate with streamers, prepare activity centres, and blow up A LOT OF BALLOONS!  We are ready for tomorrow!!

Here is a planner from the committee making a sample to show her classmates what they can do at this activity.

At this station we can make a 100-day bookmark.  A committee member hard at work making a sample to show her friends
