The Cold Weather Is Here!


Dear Parents,

It is very important that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including hats, gloves, mittens, etc. We do not have enough clothing to lend out to students who need these items and we also do not have the staff to be able to supervise a lot of students inside on colder days over lunch and recess times. We will, however, have indoor recess and lunches when temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including wind-chill factor. Please see our guidelines below:

CBE Cold Weather Guidelines for On-Site Activities


When temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including the wind-chill factor, it is recommended that students be kept inside for recess or lunch breaks. The minus 20 Celsius guideline is comparable to other school jurisdictions in Alberta and across Canada.
note | this temperature is provided as a guideline and may be adjusted for the school/activity.

Thank you!

Learning Update

Image
In Math last week, students in Ms. Rahal’s class constructed 3-D shapes and began comparing the differences between each of the objects.  In both classes, students chose 2 3-D shapes and described how they were the same or different.  Next week, students will spend more time comparing various 3-D shapes and will make a video on the similarities or differences of the 2 shapes they have decided to explore.  For their math centers, both classes were introduced to 2 new games to further their understanding of 3-D shapes.  For the first, students use clues described in the game to identify a shape.  For the second, students must play a game of "I Spy" where they spot objects around the room and identify their shape. In Social Studies , both Grade 2 classes are going on a pretend trip to Meteghan, Nova Scotia!  Each student has created a travel journal to document this adventure.  For their first journal entry, students used the knowledge that...

Fantastic Fall Break/Learning Update

Image
Hello Grade 2 Families, We hope that your fall break has been wonderful and restful.  As we (Ms. McGill & Ms. Rahal) think about next week, we want to update you on all the wonderful learning from the past 2 weeks and what will be coming after the break! By the end of last week your child should have been able to: Math:  Identify how many tens and ones there are in a given number, and represent that number in various ways.  For example...  Pictorally: Represent a number using the new strategy we learned (see image).  The purpose of this new strategy is to allow students to complete this task more efficiently. Concretely: Represent a number using the tens and ones blocks.  We found that most of our students needed practice counting by tens.  The tens blocks help with this because the students can pick one up and see that it has ten as they count! Social Studies Explain what a body of water is, and identify the various types of bodies of water that a...
