November is a time of remembrance and peace. The grade two students have been learning
about Remembrance Day and did a project based on the book A Poppy is to
Remember. We will have a Remembrance
Day ceremony at the school on Friday, November 9th at 2:35pm.
In Language Arts, we have been focusing on our reading, writing
and spelling. We have been writing in
our writing note books and doing special writing projects such as “The Best
Part of Me” which you got to see at parent-teacher conferences.
In Math, we are finishing up our unit on Place Value. The students are enjoying getting to use the
place value blocks in this unit. They
are learning to represent and describe numbers to 100 using pictures, objects,
numbers and words.
In Social Studies, we are learning about “Our
Community”. We are talking about what it
means to be a community. We will be
looking at the different groups of people, places and services that it takes to
make up a community. For example,
stores, schools, post office, fire station, homes, workers, etc.
In Science, we are looking at the characteristics of mammals
and how those characteristics change or stay the same from the time they are a
baby until they become an adult.
Closer to the end of the month we will be preparing and
practicing for our school mass. The
Grade 2’s will be doing mass on Tuesday, Decemeber 11th.
Now that the weather is getting colder and the snow is here
to stay, please remember to send your child dressed appropriately with hats,
mitts, scarves, ski pants and boots.
