March 23-27

It was so nice to see you all at the conferences last week!  There were many celebrations to share and discuss.  I'm sure that everyone will work hard and show even more growth and progress in term 3!

We have had a busy week in our classroom.  We started the week off with a storyteller named Bonnie Logan.  She told the kids many stories and she even brought out her banjo!  What a treat!

Our Force and Motion unit is well underway.  We have explored slopes using race cars.   We've used marbles and discussed friction.  We made pinwheels and went on a motion bubble gum walk around the neighbourhood.  It is amazing to discover force and motion all around us in the world!

As part of the measurement unit in grade 2, students need to know the days of the weeks and months of the years.  Please have your child practice spelling these at home!

April: Nutrition Unit (recipe assignment will be sent home next week and posted on the blog)
