April 28th - May 2nd

We have been working very hard in grade 2 this week!

In math we are working on a Measurement unit and a unit on Addition and Subtraction to 100.  You can help your child at home by practicing writing the days of the week and months of the year.   You can also practice some two digit addition with them.

Measuring in the classroom. 

What is the length of this book? 

Our school counselor came in and did a presentation about The Incredible Five Point Scale.  We talked about ways to calm yourself down if you are mad or sad.   I like using the scale in the classroom because it is easier for students to explain how they are feeling.   Mrs. Renwick will be doing another presentation that focuses on specific calming strategies for each student.

Here is the five point scale. 

Here is a volcano that has erupted. 

We had the opportunity to see our school musical called Night At The Movies.  It was a fabulous and entertaining show.

Students have been busy working on book reports and Genius Hour projects in the classroom.  Ask your child about it!  We had some grade six students come help us do some research.
