Could this be our playground?
Dear Parents,

The Grade Two Team is beginning an Inquiry project on “Playgrounds”.  This is tied to our math study of 2D and 3D shapes as well as our Social Studies inquiry on Canadian Communities.  As you are aware, Ken Taylor school has began their fundraising for our school to have its own playground.  As students have experienced not having a playground, they have become curious about designing and building a playground. This has sparked them to wonder about what might our Ken Taylor Playground look like? Students will look at the design process from the perspective of many different lenses including parents, students, and teachers. In order for us to begin our project, we are going to go on community walks.  We are in need of 5 volunteers to come on these walks with us.

We are planning to go on October 3 and October 5 from 1:00 - 2:30.  If you are able to volunteer and have the volunteer clearance, please send us an email.  Due to a CBE policy, parents will not be able to bring siblings or small children when volunteering. You will be required to be at the school from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.  We will follow up with volunteers by Friday with a confirmation.

Sincerely,
The Grade Two Team
