🌟 Grade 2 Weekly Classroom Update 🌟
Dear Grade 2 Families,
We had a fantastic week of learning as we reflected on our field trip and explored exciting new concepts—especially in Science! Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to.
📚 Language Arts – POWER Writing: Telus Spark Field Trip
This week in Language Arts, students worked through the full POWER Writing process using their experience from our Telus Spark field trip.
Throughout the week, students:
- 🧠 Planned and organized their ideas
- ✏️ Wrote detailed drafts
- 🔍 Edited and re-read their work
- 🎤 Shared their writing with their peers in an Author's sharing circle
Students did a wonderful job recalling their experiences and adding details to bring their writing to life!
🔢 Math – Double-Digit Addition
In Math, we continued learning double-digit addition (without regrouping) using a number line.
We also practiced:
- 🔍 Esti-Mysteries to build mathematical reasoning skills
- 🧠 Creating and using number lines in our journals
Students are becoming more confident in solving problems and explaining their thinking.
🔬 Science – Exploring Light
Our Science learning focused on light and how it behaves.
Students explored:
- Sources of light (natural and artificial)
- Bioluminescence
- Properties of Light
- Absorption (how Opaque, Translucent, and Transparent materials take in light)
Students were engaged in discussions, videos, and journal reflections as they began to think like scientists and observe how light works in the world around them.
🌍 Social Studies – Totes About Me
Our Totes About Me journey continues! This week, our learning led us to India.
Students enjoyed learning about:
- Different ways of life around the world
These experiences continue to build understanding, respect, and appreciation for the diversity within our classroom community.
🔤 Literacy & Daily Practice
Students also continued to build their skills through:
- 📖 Literacy Stations
- 🔡 UFLI blending practice
- ✍️ Mindful handwriting
- 🧠 Learning about facts vs. opinions
Thank you for your continued support at home. It is always a joy to see your children learning, growing, and sharing their ideas each day!
Warmly,
Ms. Oshokoya ✨
