This was a busy week in grade 2!
On Wednesday, we had our Terry Fox run! Students raised money for cancer research and ran laps around our school field in support of Terry's run across Canada. Ask your student how many laps they ran!
On Thursday was our open house! It was great to meet so many families and show you our classroom.
We finished our patterning unit in math this week. Students should now be able to identify and create repeating, increasing, and decreasing patterns that include attributes such as shape, size, position, and colour. Next week, we will begin discussion quantities to 1000 and introducing the concept of place value.
Our first spelling tests were sent home this week. Please take a look at it with your student and see how they did! We also had our second spelling test on Thursday. Our mystery sentence this week was 'Is that your math book?'. These will be sent home on Monday for you to review. Next week we will continue with our review of digraphs within longer words with blends.
Our words for next Friday's spelling test will be:
1. at
2. be
3. this
4. have
5. from
6. or
7. one
8. had
9. by
10. word
Sentence 1:
Sentence 2 will be a mystery
Our blue home reading duotangs got 2 new readings added this week! Please take a look at these with your student and have them read the passages if you want some extra practice.
We started our science unit on matter this week! We talked about different materials that are used to make objects. Ask your student what object they found around our classroom and what material it was made out of.
Tuesday, September 29th, is Orange Shirt Day at school. If your child has an orange shirt, they are encouraged to wear it on Tuesday. We have started talking briefly about what Orange Shirt Day represents and we will learn more during an assembly next week. There is no school on Wednesday, September 30th for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Reminder that our library day is Tuesday!
