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

Or…

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.

Our Grade 2 students are very excited to write book reviews to encourage others to share their passion for reading. Last week we went to the library and Brigitte demonstrated how to write a book review. We also discussed the purpose of a book review. Tehila was the first one in our class to do so. Great job Tehila!  After that, everyone wanted an opportunity to participate and create their very first book review. So I promised them I would share the information which allows your child to do so this weekend.  Click on the URL below and follow the steps.

Dear Parents,

Grade 2 has made these Learning Skills booklets to better understand how these skills can help them have a successful school year. Please read this booklet with your child. They are in your child’s note tote.

Please complete the second page of our mini project for Monday, it is entitled “Where in the World?”

Shalom! Please save the date! Next Friday, October 26 at 2:20pm in the chapel. Dr. Mitzmacher will join the grade 2 and 3 classes for a Kabbalat Shabbat service. We hope to see you there!

Grade 2 watched a video/song in French about Terry Fox, which was followed by discussion. The students were asked to come up with one or two words that came to mind when they thought about Terry Fox. They did a great job and were truly inspired! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwpzXxU7VWk
