🌟 Grade 2 Weekly Classroom Update 🌟
Dear Grade 2 Families,
We have another exciting week of learning ahead in Grade 2! Students will continue exploring poetry, investigating materials and objects, learning about 2D and 3D shapes, and beginning an exciting new zoo enclosure project.
📚 Language Arts – Poetry
This week, students will continue exploring different forms of poetry, including:
- 🔤 Acrostic Poems
- 🍃 Haiku Poems
Students will learn how poets carefully choose words to express ideas, feelings, and images. We will continue practicing writing our own poems and sharing them with classmates.
🔢 Math – Shapes and Fractions
In Math, students will:
- 🔷 Learn about the attributes of 2D shapes
- 📦 Explore and build 3D shapes

Students will have opportunities to build, describe, and compare shapes using hands-on materials.

We will discuss where these materials come from, whether they are renewable or non-renewable, and what kinds of objects they can be used to make.
Students will also begin planning their Zoo Enclosure Project by researching an animal's habitat, diet, and needs. 🦁🐧🐘
