November 2026

 

It is November!  We have been in school for three months now. 

So many things had happened already. In the Grade 2 classroom, we have been very busy doing and learning a lot of many things. 

In ELA, we are continuously learning and reviewing our  alphabet, letter sounds, short and long vowel sounds and CVCs. Our main goal is to make sure that everyone is able to read, sound out the letters and spell the words. And I can proudly say that it seems that almost all of them are. We are continuously working on our sight words as part of our morning routine. I had given out their home reading and they will start right away. Our weekly spelling is also ongoing. the sight words will be given to them as well. Please continue to help your child study and practice these words each week. In grammar, we are learning about sentences and the first part of speech which is Noun. 

In Math, we continuously do our mad minutes for addition and subtraction facts 0-20. We love doing our Mad Minutes. We finished learning about numbers before, after and numbers in between. We started working on learning about Odd and Even numbers. During our calendar routine, we practice reciting 0-100 numbers forward and backward. This practice helps us with our facts. We also practice our skip counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100.    

In Science, we are learning so many things ; the three states of matter, the different properties of solid, liquid and gas. We have identified objects that are solid, liquid and gas. We looked into the form, state and property of solid, liquid and gas.

In Social Studies we are learned about what it means to be a community, in our neighborhood, at school and in our classroom. We had a very short unit about the map of Canada, the provinces and territories. We learned what province we live and the city we live in. It is fun learning about all of these things. 

Also, I would like to thank you, the parents who took time to come to the Student-led Conference last November 5th and 6th. Your continued support to your child's learning is very much appreciated. We are all working together to make them become successful individuals. 

 Please be reminded to always check and sign your child's agenda. It is very important that you see them.
