Hello Grade 2 Families, Time sure flies when you are having fun! Last week in Social Studies , we finished our packing lists and made passports.  In these passports, students filled out their name, date of birth, place they were born, and nationality.  This was a wonderful opportunity for our classes to discuss the various cultures, languages, and heritages we have in our classrooms, and how that contributes to our school community.    As we finish our Social Studies unit about Meteghan, an Acadian community, and continue on to our next unit, involving an Inuit community, students will receive stamps or stickers on their passports!   Math Students in Mrs. Rahal's class continued to explore 2-D shapes in the environment and created various images using 2-D shapes.   Ms.  McGill's class worked towards the statement, "I can identify 2-D shapes in the environment and 2-D shapes as parts of 3-D shapes."  Ms. McGill's class worked on transferring horizo...

Hello Grade 2 Families, The past few weeks have been busy! In Science , students performed an experiment where they answered the question: "What is the coldest place inside the school?"  We travelled around to different areas, and used a thermometer to measure the temperature.  We learned that the coldest place inside the school is inside the lunchroom freezer. We have been doing more preparation work for our Meteghan trip!   (Social Studies) Each class decided on a route to Meteghan, using prior knowledge from our research project last month.  Ms. McGill's class will be flying to St. John's, taking the ferry to Digby, Nova Scotia, and then a bus to Meteghan.  Now, we are making a packing list.
