Test Import

In  Math  last week, students were introduced to various attributes (faces, edges and vertices) of 3 dimensional geometric objects.  Ms. Rahal's class was able to identify 3-D objects in the environment, while Ms. McGill's class began comparing the cubes and triangular pyramids that they made.   Students are enjoying targeted practice of two-digit by two-digit addition and subtraction through our Math Centres.  Those students who have mastered equations without regrouping have moved onto practicing two-digit addition with regrouping.  This is a skill that has been taught individually to students and will be taught to the class as a whole in the spring.   Lastly, both Grade 2 classes have been working hard at identifying and comprehending the key words and phrases within a word problem. ______________________________________________________________________________ In  Science , students in Ms. Rahal's class practiced readin...

Welcome to the first blog post of the new year.  The weather last week certainly didn't keep us away from learning.  Brrrr! Right away, we started off by brainstorming and writing our  January goals.   At the beginning of each month, students choose and record an academic goal, which for most students targets an area of Literacy or Math.  Next, students choose a random goal.  This encourages them to strive for growth within an activity that they are passionate about.  Lastly, a Circle of Courage goal, which is centered around one of Mastery, Independence, Generosity, or Belonging.  After the winter break the Grade 2s hit the ground running, starting three new units. In  Math , we have begun exploring 3-D shapes and have also introduced Math Centers.  Within these Math centers, we are able to complete targeted practice for our two-digit addition and subtraction skills, as well as maintain our knowledge of the other various math skill...

Classes will resume on  January 9, 2020 . We hope everyone has a wonderful Winter Break!

Wow, fall went by quickly! Grade 2s spent the last two weeks finishing up various projects: Our pictorial chart about eye color More hamburger math fact practice; Ms. McGill's class focused on the words, "hamburger is for horizontal" Quest performance last Thursday!  Writing/Art We read a book entitled "Snowmen at Night".  As a class we brainstormed what we think our snowmen do at night.  Students turned their creative thinking switch on and brainstormed ideas, created a rough copy, and lastly, wrote a piece of writing to go with the art pictured below!  Each student used ripped paper to create a side profile of their snowman.
