🌟 Grade 2 Weekly Classroom Update 🌟
Dear Grade 2 Families,
We had an exciting and engaging week of learning in Grade 2! Students explored new ideas in writing, math, science, and social studies while continuing to build confidence in sharing their thinking.
📚 Language Arts – POWER Writing: Bioluminescence
This week, students worked through the full POWER Writing process using a fun and creative prompt about bioluminescence (animals that can glow in the dark!).
Students:
🧠 Planned and organized their ideas (What animal? What color? When would it glow?)
✏️ Wrote detailed pieces over multiple days
🔍 Edited their work carefully
🎤 Shared their writing during Author’s Circle
It was wonderful to see their creativity and imagination come to life!
🔢 Math – Double-Digit Subtraction
In Math, we focused on double-digit subtraction (without regrouping) using a number line.
We also continued:
🔍 Esti-Mysteries to build estimation skills
🧠 Practicing how to explain our thinking clearly
Students are growing more confident using strategies to solve problems step-by-step.
🔬 Science – Exploring Light
Our Science learning continued with light and how it behaves.
Students explored:
💡 Reflection and refraction
🔦 Light through different materials
🧠 Hands-on light centers and experiments
Students were engaged in observing, questioning, and recording their thinking like young scientists!
🎨 Art – Inspired Creations
Students created beautiful Van Gogh-inspired flowers in a vase, focusing on patterns, colour, and creativity. Their artwork is vibrant and full of personality!
🌍 Social Studies – Totes About Me
Our Totes About Me journey continues to take us around the world! This week, our learning led us to Nigeria.
Students learned about:
Culture and traditions
Family connections and heritage
Diversity within our classroom and beyond
These experiences continue to build a strong sense of identity and appreciation for different cultures.
