Bonjour!

2B students have been asked to look up 3 words that they would like to know in French, and bring them to class for vendredi (Friday).

Students also picked out French books for at home reading. Students are encouraged to read through their book every night, OUT LOUD!

Shavua Tov,

For the next few weeks, we will be learning the prayer, Yigdal. Each night please read the Hebrew text, copy it in cursive, and practise singing. Here is tonight’s homework:

Dear Parents,

Our Grade 2 students will be going on two consecutive field trips at the end of this month. This is due to the rescheduling of our February trip. Please sign both forms and return them by the end of this week. The forms below can be found in their note totes.

Thank-you for your co-operation!

What is climate? What are the various climates that exist around the world?  What adaptations are necessary in order for living things to survive in these conditions? These are just some of the questions the Grade 2 students are asking themselves as they work in small groups in order to complete their research.

STEAM Challenge

Can you make a marble run that allows your marble to accelerate, change direction  and move in more than one way (e.g. zig zag, round and round, up and down)?

That is exactly what our design teams were working on today. You are invited to come see the Grade 2 STEAM FAIR projects on Thursday, March 7th from 8:45-9:30 a.m.  We look forward
to showing off all our hard work!

Please remember that your child can dress up to look 100 years old. No uniforms necessary. No other costumes please, just old lady or old man. I am dressing as myself. Just no make-up! Just kidding!

                   Have a great evening!

Before winter break, we wrapped up our unit on Movement by engaging in a scavenger hunt where the students searched the classroom to find the necessary fast facts to answer a list of questions based on their knowledge of simple machines. Fun was had by all! Don’t take my word for it, watch this video.

The students will have an opportunity to reflect, problem-solve and apply this knowledge to a STEM challenge scheduled to take place during our STEM fair in March.

Presently, our Grade 2 students are learning about the six different animal groups; mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds and invertebrates. They work in pairs and in small groups in order to collect and share their information of each of these groups. Once they have foundation to work with, they will be given the opportunity to work on a research project of an animal they are curious about.

Dear Parents,

Our class is celebrating the 100th Day of School on Tuesday, February 26th. To show our school spirit and commemorate this special day, our class is going to dress up like we are 100 years old. If your child would like to participate, it’s easy! We don’t encourage you to purchase a costume, but instead find items at home. Here a few ideas that may help your child dress the part.

Dress Like You’re 100 Years Old!

• gray hair
• hair curlers
• glasses
• shawl
• bow tie
• gray beard
• cane
• knee highs

Use your Imagination!

This past month we have been working on becoming proficient at solving math equations and problems involving subtraction  with regrouping. The students used many different tools and strategies. They worked in groups with base ten manipulatives, drew pictures to represent amounts and decomposed numbers to help solve the equations. Many have mastered this skill and continue to share their strategies with others. Below are two students sharing their thinking with the rest of the grade.
