🌟 Grade 2 Weekly Classroom Update 🌟
Dear Grade 2 Families,
We had another exciting and engaging week filled with hands-on learning, creativity, and collaboration! Here’s a look at what we explored in our classroom.
🔬 Mad Science & Food Discovery Workshop
We kicked off the week with our Mad Science in-school field trip, where students participated in fun, hands-on experiments and explored scientific concepts in an engaging way.
Later in the week, students also took part in a Food Discovery Workshop, where they learned about food, nutrition, and healthy choices. It was a fantastic interactive experience!
📚 Language Arts – Writing & Research
In Language Arts, students worked on a variety of writing and reading skills:
- 🐉 Dragon Writing – making connections and building detailed ideas
- ✏️ Stretching sentences using adverbs to add more detail
- 🐸 Frog Research – learning about appearance and habitat
Students are continuing to grow as writers by adding more detail and organizing their ideas clearly.
🔢 Math – Building Number Sense
In Math, students explored numbers in a hands-on way:
- 🔢 Base 10 blocks to build and represent numbers
- 🎲 “Roll it, Build it, Draw it” activities
- 🔍 Creating and solving their own Esti-Mystery questions
These activities help students deepen their understanding of place value and problem-solving.
🌍 Social Studies – Culture & Community
Students continued learning about:
- 🦬 Métis heritage and art
- 🇨🇦 Francophone communities in Canada
These lessons support students in understanding identity, community, and how people live in different ways.

Students explored:
- Cultural traditions and family connections
