I can recognize how factors such as healthy eating, hydration, rest, and exercise affect healthy physical and emotional growth
Grade 2 Wellness

Over the past couple of weeks, students explored how healthy habits help our bodies and minds grow strong. They learned that eating nutritious food, drinking enough water, getting rest, and staying active all contribute to their physical and emotional well-being. To show their understanding, students created “Healthy Humans” — creative drawings of themselves that included the healthy choices they make each day. These thoughtful and colourful projects are a great reminder of the small things we can all do to stay healthy!

Here are some of our works in progress: 

And here are some completed Healthy Humans:

We also had some very special visitors in our classroom on Thursday! After learning about animal behaviour and building empathy for living things, students were thrilled to welcome 3-day-old goslings into our room. It was especially exciting to see our beloved Brightbill character from The Wild Robot "in goose!" A big thank you to Ellie in Grade 5 for sharing her sweet birds with us — the students absolutely loved the experience!
