Good Afternoon Keeler Families, Safety Precautions at Keeler School The safety of all students and staff at Keeler School is of great importance. As such, we have established appropriate safety measures for the various situations that may occur and affect our staff and students. Fire drills are a long-standing expectation of everyone who congregates in a setting such as a school. We are required to have a minimum of six fire drills each school year. Teachers keep class lists with them during all drills and attendance is always taken. Parents or other visitors are expected to evacuate the building when the fire alarm is sounded. It is a reflection of the changes in our society that we must add variations to our safety drills. Today, February 25, 2020 we practiced a drill known as a "lockdown". The teachers instructed students of their role during a drill of this kind. All students were prepared and understood that this was a practice. No one is allowed to enter or leave the bu...

Reminders/Learning Update - No Running and Reading tomorrow. - Philkids concert with the CPO tomorrow.  Please call the office with any questions. Lastly, we are learning about insulators in Science. So far, questions we have explored are: 1. What does an insulator do? 2. What are some good insulators? This is where you come in! As a class, we are gathering materials that make good insulators.  In approximately 2 weeks,  once we have gathered enough, we will be making our own insulator invention. Some examples of insulators: - glass (we will use this sparingly in our inventions) - air - plastic - rubber - porcelain - wood - styrofoam Please start sending!

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...

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...
