This website is in it's tenth year. It was designed to highlight learning and share activities in Mme Villeneuve's grade 2 classroom. Now a retired teacher, I plan to continue this website to highlight activities and links to sites that children, parents and teachers may find interesting, fun or useful. Please email me if you have any questions or comments (septemberrubystudios@gmail.com).

Polar Bears/ Les ours polaires
Polar Bear Watercolour May 2012 Reegan and Grandmaman |
We learned how to paint the paper first with water from left to right, just like when we read and write.
We learned how to make marks with wax and when we painted the paint didn't stay where the wax was.
We learned that hair dryers are noisy but can help make the paint dry faster.
Polar Bear and Northern Lights Watercolour May 2012 Ethan |
Ethan painted Northern Lights in the background of his Arctic icescape. He added claws and facial features with a sharpie and painted shadows under the polar bear's paws to ground him.

Windmills
Ethan, Tristan and Reegan had fun painting windmills and tulips. I think one day they would like to go to Holland and see the windmills there. Click on the words below to see-

Windy Valley Watercolour May 2012 Tristan |
There are windmill farms in Southern Alberta. They take the energy from the wind and turn it into energy we can use.
Tristan had fun making a model windmill at the Telus Spark Science Center. |
