It was great to see all of the families at parent-teacher
conferences. The students really enjoyed
sharing their portfolios with you.
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 had a Remembrance Day
ceremony at the school on Friday, November 8th and the grade 2 class
performed a poem called “Little Poppy”.
We were very lucky to have Master Warrant Officer Scott Baker at our
assembly to give the students a presentation.
In Language Arts, we have been focusing on our reading and
writing. We have been writing in our
journals 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 beginning our next unit on Place Value. They are learning to represent and describe
numbers to 100 using pictures, objects, numbers and words. We will continue to do our Mad Minutes so
please remember to practice addition facts up to 18 at home.
In Social Studies, we are continuing to learn about “Our Local
Community”. We are talking about what it
means to be a part of a community. The
students did a mini writing project on their favourite place in their local
community.
In Science, we are still learning about the growth and
changes of animals. We have started a
group research project on an animal of the students choosing. They will turn their research into a poster
to display in our classroom.
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 10th.
