November 21, 2021

 This week we have been working on odd and even numbers in Math.  We learned a new game called "Slap It".  Ask your child how to play!



In Writing, we worked on making a story plan before beginning our writing.  We discussed how it is a great tool to figure out the points we want to write about before starting.

In Science, we finished our unit on Small, crawling and flying animals.  We will begin our next unit on Magnetism next week.  

We were fortunate to have a hip hop instructor during Phys.Ed this week.  The students worked hard on creating their own original dance.  You will be receiving the link for our class next week so you can watch their amazing moves!

Thursday evening and Friday are parent/teacher conferences.  If you haven't had a chance to book a conference with me please do so.  I am looking forward to chatting with you all about your child's progress.

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is Wednesday, which is our book exchange day.  Please remember to bring back your book so you can get a new one.

November News

 Time has been flying by and we are now in November!  We have been having a lot of fun the past few weeks. We celebrated Halloween in our class and participated in some Halloween centres such as writing stories using a picture prompt, making a monster with play dough and describing it, and creating a magnetic haunted house.  






In literacy we have been working on learning parts of a sentence and how to include triple scoop words in our writing to make it more interesting.  

In math, we have been studying increasing patterns and being able to describe the pattern rule.  We have also been doing some word problems with both addition and subtraction.  

As many of you are aware, we have some construction going on in our school.  Because we have a large construction wall we thought we would make it look nicer by decorating it with drawings and have Le Roi students colour it.  This week our class had a chance to colour some of the pictures.  










On Friday your child brought home a beautiful piece of art that we have been working on, using a variety of different mediums.  If you wish to support our school Acorn Art fundraiser please check the order form for instructions on how to order.  In the past I have had many families use this as a way to produce holiday cards and they turn out beautifully!  

The Grade 2 students have been practicing and filming our upcoming Remembrance Day assembly.  The link will be shared with parents this week.  The students did an amazing job!
