Dear Grade 2 Families,
Welcome back! We had a wonderful week settling back into our routines and sharing stories from Spring Break. It was so nice to see everyone again and hear about their adventures!
📚 Language Arts – POWER Writing: My Spring Break
In Language Arts, students worked through the POWER Writing process as they wrote about their Spring Break experiences:
- 🧠 Planning their ideas
- 🗂 Organizing their thoughts
- ✏️ Writing their stories
- 🔍 Editing their work
Students are becoming more confident in expressing their ideas and adding details to make their writing more engaging. We also continued building literacy skills through Literacy Stations and Small Group Lessons.
🔢 Math – Double-Digit Addition
In Math, we focused on double-digit addition (without regrouping) using a number line.
We also continued:
- 🔍 Esti-Mysteries to build estimation skills
- 🧠 Strengthening number sense and explaining our thinking
Students are learning how to break numbers apart and solve problems step-by-step with confidence.
🔬 Science & Art – Creativity and Observation
This week, students explored creativity through both science and art connections:
- 🐰 Zentangle Rabbit Art (Part I & II) – focusing on patterns, creativity, and attention to detail
- 🌸 Watercolour Pencil Spring Flowers – experimenting with colour blending and artistic expression
Students practiced patience, focus, and creativity while creating beautiful pieces.
🌍 Social Studies – Totes About Me
Our Totes About Me learning continues to take us around the world! This week, our exploration led us to Peru.
Students are learning about:
- Different cultures and traditions
- Family heritage and ancestry
- Connections between people and places
These conversations continue to build a strong sense of identity, respect, and appreciation for the diversity in our classroom.
📌 Reminders & Important Information
🚍 Telus Spark Science Centre Field Trip
Our field trip to the Telus Spark Science Centre was a fantastic experience! Students engaged in hands-on exhibits and inquiry-based learning. We are so proud of how respectful, curious, and responsible they were throughout the day. A big thank you to our parent volunteers who made the trip with us!
