Guided By Our North Stars
Shavua tov!
Hebrew homework continues on Classkick this week. Please complete pages 4, 5 and 6. Read the instructions carefully on each page. I also left you each a voice note on your work from last week. Have a listen. Please remember homework is due next Monday.
Hello Grade 2 students (and parents)!
WHAT A GREAT FIRST WEEK OF HOMEWORK! Thank you to all of the parents who assisted with navigating the new General Studies homework routine! Just like last week, you must choose 1 of the homework tasks below and complete it before next Monday. If you’d like to, you can complete 2, 3, or maybe even all 4 of the tasks… BUT you only NEED to do 1!
Language Arts: Open a new Google Doc and write a short journal entry telling me what your favourite dessert is and why. Don’t forget to share the Doc with Morah Lianna (blue “share” button in the top right corner).
Math: Complete the assigned skills on IXL. (e-mail Morah Lianna if you are unsure of your login information)
Science: Watch this video and leave a comment on the blog with some new facts that you learned!
Social Studies: Choose a holiday you celebrate. How do you celebrate the holiday? Compare it to how your parents or grandparents celebrated the holiday when they were young. Share your comparison with a Venn Diagram on Jamboard.
This week we are continuing to focus on (re)learning how to access all of these online platforms and apps!
*I encourage you to complete your work virtually. However, if it is too challenging in your home to do paperless homework, you can access this homework doc and print the required page(s).
Shalom Kitah bet!
Welcome to our first week of Hebrew homework!
Be’hatzlacha (good luck)! Feel free to email if you have questions.
Hello Grade 2 students (and parents)!
WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST WEEK OF HOMEWORK! Just like I said in class, you must choose 1 of the homework tasks below and complete it before next Monday. If you’d like to, you can complete 2, 3, or maybe even all 4 of the tasks… BUT you only NEED to do 1!
Language Arts: Film yourself reading a book to your sibling or parent on Flipgrid (press “join with Google”. You must use your OJCS account to sign in). After reading, answer the following questions (either in your Flipgrid video OR comment on this blog post).
Who is your favourite character in the book? Why?
Was there anything you didn’t like about the book?
Math: On Jamboard, draw a growing pattern (pretend you have the cubes from the classroom). Type out the pattern rule. Don’t forget to share your work with Morah Lianna (blue button in the top corner)!
Science: Research your favourite animal and share 3 interesting facts about that animal by commenting on this blog post. You can use books or websites. Here are 2 websites to get you started:
https://www.factmonster.com/math-science/biology/plants-animals/animals
https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/animals/
Social Studies: Interview your parent about their favourite celebration. Ask them the following questions and write their answers by commenting on this blog post.
Parent’s Favourite Celebration:
When is the celebration held?
Who do they celebrate with?
What is the purpose/meaning of the celebration?
Are there any special traditions for this celebration?
This week we are focusing on (re)learning how to access all of these online platforms and apps! The only login information you will need for this week is your OJCS Google Account. The username (OJCS email) and password are the same from last year. Please reach out to Morah Lianna if you need ANY assistance!
*I encourage you to complete your work virtually. However, if it is too challenging in your home to do paperless homework, you can access this homework doc and print the required page(s).
REMINDER!
Tomorrow (October 19th) is picture day! Please make sure your child is wearing their WHITE OJCS SHIRT!
Welcome Back Kitah Bet Families!
We hope you had a lovely break. We are back to our regularly scheduled General Studies “Choose Your Own Adventure” Homework! Below you will find the 4 choices. As usual, the students should choose one of the options below. Completing extra tasks is a bonus!
Language Arts – Prefix/Suffix detective: while doing your nightly English reading, look for new prefixes, base words, and suffixes. Add them to our class Jamboard.
Science – Go on a Simple Machines scavenger hunt in your house! Share your findings on Flipgrid.

Have a lovely and sunny week!
Shalom and welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful Passover holiday and break!
SAVE THE DATE: Kitah bet will be having their “Chagigat haTorah” just before Shavuot this year. The date is booked for Friday, May 14th at 9am. We hope that you can join us virtually to celebrate our Torah learning.
HOMEWORK: This term our Hebrew homework will focus more on Hebrew reading and cursive writing. Each night, Monday through Thursday, students will get a small reading text plus an option to either copy 3 of the sentences in cursive or create their own sentences with the words in bold. Feel free to print the cursive letters here.
The homeowrk can be found in the Hebrew workbooks in their backpacks. Please reach out if your child is having difficulty completing the homework. I am happy to make any modifications.
Have a wonderful week!

Hello Kitah Bet Families,
I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the amazing weather! Cooper and I had a blast playing outside in the sunshine!
This is NO HOMEWORK this week. With the short week, preparations for Innovation Day, and preparations for Passover, I have decided to pause homework for this week. We will relaunch upon our return on April 5th. If you or your child would like to do some General Studies homework this week, please feel free to visit past homework tasks that he/she did not complete.
*Reminder: This Wednesday is our Innovation Day Presentation. Please join us on Google Meet for a Kahoot! Game as well we project presentations!
SCHEDULE – Wednesday, March 24th
2B – Google Meet at 2:00
2A – Google Meet at 2:45
Shavua Tov! For homework this week students will be listening to a story called “The Afikoman”. The story is 12 minutes long so feel free to break it up into two sessions. There is a question page in their homework folders to accompany this story. It is due next Monday.
Hello Kitah Bet Families
I encourage you to read this entire post as we have a few reminders for you at the bottom!
We are trying another week of paperless homework! Below you will find the 4 choices. As usual, the students should choose one of the options below. Completing extra tasks is a bonus!
Math – IXL
Science – Go on a Simple Machines scavenger hunt in your house! Share your findings on Flipgrid.
Language Arts – Create a Google Doc and write about your favourite hobby. You may want to use this graphic organizer to gather your ideas first. Make sure you share the Google Doc with me!
Social Studies – As the warm weather approaches, Cooper is looking for a new backyard to play in! Please use Jamboard to draw a map of your backyard so he can decide which play area he likes best! Don’t forget to include your legend and share your Jamboard with Morah Lianna!
PARENTS: As we enter our third week of paperless homework, I kindly ask that you complete this parent survey. It is 3 short questions about homework, so it should not take up too much time.
