Week of January 20 - 25

Thank you to all of the families and students who came out to the Grade 2 Celebration of Learning last night.

This week in writing we began to explore poetry and how we can use it to communicate a purpose/messages through strong words. We discussed how poetry should make the reader feel something, wonder or think of something in a new way. Ask your child about how they can read and write like a poet.



In math we continued to explore the number line and discovered that we need to continue working on skip counting beyond 30 starting at different numbers. For example students can practice skip counting by 10 from 62 or counting by 2's from 73. To practice you can refer to the Mathletics assignment which will be open till Monday morning. 

1) Food Bank Donations: Digital copies of the recipe book were sent out this morning to anyone who made a donation and supplied their email address.  If you would still like to contribute a minimum $5 dollar donation for a digital copy of the recipe book the students created, please send in your donation by Thursday January 31. Thank you for your support.

2) Mathletics: This week the students were given an assignment to complete on skip counting.  Students have till Monday to complete the assignment.  Log in cards were sent home with students last week.  

Upcoming dates:
Feb 1st - No school
Feb 11th - 28th Alien in line skating
Feb 18th - No school due to Family Day
Feb 22nd - Pink shirt Day
