It was nice to have a mid week off day. Thank you to all the parents
who came to lead the mini academy on Monday. As always kids
had a lot of fun learning something from other than their teachers.
The hat parade on the hundredth day of school was a nice
experience for second graders. Thank you for helping your child
with their creative hats!

Language Arts
In reading, students practiced rereading like an expert when they
come across words that are not familiar with as yet another strategy
in their toolbox to help solve unknown words. Rereading not only
reinforces fluency but it also supports understanding. Summarising
continues with looking at the big topic, heading and key details
about the heading and giving a summary statement.
In writing, we are working on setting goals to elaborate our facts to come across words that are not familiar with as yet another strategy
in their toolbox to help solve unknown words. Rereading not only
reinforces fluency but it also supports understanding. Summarising
continues with looking at the big topic, heading and key details
about the heading and giving a summary statement.
make our reader more informed. This includes twin facts, giving
examples, comparisons and using text features and mini glossaries
to help explain topic words. We will soon finish these up and start
our Healthy Choices research books.
Math
Students reviewed shape attributes this week including 3D attributes. We then learned about arrays and how to describe arrays using addition sentences as well as beginning multiplication. We studied and created rectangular arrays and how to partition rectangles equally. I am amazed at this class's ability to make connections, remember all of the geometry vocabulary and continually be enthusiastic about math class.
Science
This week, we finished up our portion of the unit on exercise. Students recorded their exercise videos and started using a new Application that will help them to create a news show about what they learned about exercise. Stay tuned for samples and a personal fitness goal via Seesaw. We will start discussing nutrition next week.
