If you would like your child to get photo retakes done on Monday, you MUST email me to let me know.
Grade 2 students are preparing to put on the Remembrance Day assembly. It will be another virtual assembly and available to parents before November 11th. Our class has been practicing In Flanders Fields to recite, and preparing LOTS of artwork to showcase in the bulletin boards and the video. Ask your child if they remember the poem!
Writing: We have been brainstorming triple-scoop words to use in our writing to replace boring words. Students looked at examples of boring words and how we could make them even better. They read stories that show examples of triple-scoop words and practiced replacing boring words with triple-scoop words in their own writing. Check out the "pictures" page to see examples of triple-scoop words.
Math: We have just completed a unit on repeating patterns and will be moving on to growing patterns this week. I encourage students to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to complete the pattern math homework so that they can learn it in class first.
Reading: Many reading groups have continued learning about how to read with expression- not like robots!
Social Studies: In continuing our exploration of Meteghan, Iqaluit, and Saskatoon, students have learned about various landforms and bodies of water in each location. Ask your child what landforms there are in Iqaluit and what bodies of water are near Meteghan!
Science: We have compared spiders and ants and will soon be moving on to bats and bees in our study of small flying and crawling animals. Buzzzzzzzz
Gym: This week we had the opportunity to participate in adventure running! Classes in all grades practiced their endurance running, learned how to properly read a map, and follow it to collect clues and solve a mystery word.
