It’s been a great week in Grade 2. We had our Healthy Relationships assembly this week, learning all about how to be a bucket filler instead of a bucket dipper. We brainstormed kind things we can say and do for others, and how when we do those things for others, it also fills our own bucket! We are doing our best to always be bucket fillers! We have also spent a lot of time this week talking about Thanksgiving. We have so much to be grateful for, and it is good to stop and remind ourselves of all the blessings that we have been given. I hope that you all have a wonderful long weekend, and that you can stop and count your blessings too! Happy Thanksgiving!
