Welcome to our official brand new amazing grade 2 blog!

This week in room 5:

Language Arts:

  • We created a social studies/LA writing page today titled D...for differences. Within this writing piece we focused on what makes us all different. We connected it to how we all are part of the same classroom! Like leaves on a tree we are all a little different...but the tree trunk is classroom that we are all a part of! Together we created the art piece below! If you missed this project...it can be found below!
  • We will be reading every day at least twice! We will be going over reading strategies and focusing on how we use our letter sounds to begin decoding words. 
  • This week we will do another star student to learn about one of our classmates.
  • Students will also be doing a monthly writing sample to show progress throughout the year.
  • We will be doing printing around the letter G!
Math:
  • Increasing patterns! Students will be practicing how to show increasing patterns using color and pictures this week. Some practice below!
  • We will be reviewing repeating patterns in our morning meetings
  • Printing practice with the number 6 and different ways to represent this number. 
  • Can you make the next three pictures for the growing patterns below?






Social
  • This was mentioned earlier relating to the writing on D for differences. This is in part a piece of social studies carrying over from learning all about me.
  • We will be using maps to explore Calgary and starting to look at landmarks.
  • Map of Calgary Can you find our school? Your home? Nose Hill?

Science
  • Habitats of insects, specifically focusing on bees!
