🌟 Grade 2 Weekly Classroom Update 🌟
Dear Grade 2 Families,
We had another exciting week of learning in Grade 2! Students explored different types of poetry, completed their frog research projects, investigated materials and objects, and continued developing their math skills through problem-solving activities.
📚 Language Arts – Poetry & Frog Research
This week, students explored several different types of poetry, including:
🌿 Simile Poems
💭 Metaphor Poems
🎨 Shape (Concrete) Poems
🔤 Acrostic Poems
Students planned and created their own poems while learning how poets use words to create strong images and feelings. We also completed the final copies of our Frog Research Projects and celebrated all the hard work students put into their research and writing.
🔢 Math – Addition, Subtraction & Shapes
In Math, students:
➕ Practiced decomposing double-digit addition problems
➖ Practiced decomposing double-digit subtraction problems
🧠 Solved word problems
🔷 Explored the differences between 2D and 3D shapes
📦 Learned about faces, edges, and vertices
Students showed great perseverance as they explained their mathematical thinking and explored new geometry concepts.
🧪 Science – Materials and Objects
Students investigated the properties of different materials and discussed how materials are chosen for specific purposes. We also continued learning about life cycles through a special egg candling observation, where students observed the development of a chick inside an egg. 🐣
🌍 Social Studies – Journal Reflections
Students reflected on their learning through Social Studies journal activities and continued making connections between classroom learning and the world around them.
🇭🇰 About Me Bin – Hong Kong
Our About Me Bin journey took us to Hong Kong this week! Students learned about Hong Kong's culture, traditions, landmarks, and family connections while celebrating the diversity within our classroom community.

🏠 Practice Homework – Addition & Subtraction
To help students continue building confidence with their addition and subtraction strategies, I have posted some optional practice activities for home. These activities review the strategies we have been learning in class, including decomposing, number lines, hundreds charts, and stacking.
Completing a little practice at home can help reinforce these skills. Please download, print, and practice. Thank you for supporting your child's learning!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. It has been wonderful watching our Grade 2 students grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and community members.
Warmly,
Ms. Oshokoya ✨
