It’s hard to believe there are only two weeks left of school and they are going to be busy weeks. 

Please send only water in your child’s water bottle for their desk.

Please continue to check your child’s Communication Bag for notices and read the newsletters closely.  We are still maintaining our regular class schedule as much as possible and learning will continue till the end of the year.  We also want to put forth our best effort on year end assessments.  Please support your child by making sure they are coming to school well rested and ready for the day. 

Tomorrow is our trip to Greenhill Lake.  Please make sure your child has everything they will need to spend the day outside, including lots to drink and a full lunch.

Literacy:   Please remember to record the title of the book that your child reads each night.  When reading with your child, stop at various points throughout the book and ask them questions about the story or new vocabulary words.   Please continue to use the list of comprehension questions that was sent home. 

The students are enjoying writing their own narratives.  We have some imaginative authors in grade 2!

We are continuing our learning about animal life cycles and about respecting nature. 

Math:  This week’s numbers of the day will be 165-169.  We continue to work on selecting appropriate strategies for addition and subtraction, with students working with equations at their level. Some students are working with 2 digit equations, some are working with a combination of one and two digits and some students are working with one digit equations. Regular practice of the basic math facts (10 partners, doubles, 1more/less) is beneficial as students are realizing that using mental math is faster than having to calculate the answer.  Please continue to practice counting coins at home.  Practicing word problems is also beneficial. 

Mrs. Burnett had _____ freezies.  She gave ______ to the grade 2 class.  How many freezies does she have left?

We are continuing to work on describing and identifying real world examples of 3D objects (cylinder, sphere, prism, cone, cube, pyramid).  We are also learning about increasing patterns.
