Dear
families,
In Language, while writing their own fables, students will be
asked to combine different elements of texts (characters, setting, events,
problem and resolution). In class, students are using graphic organizers to
help generate ideas and plan their writing piece. I anticipate some excellent
work ahead. Happy writing boys and girls!
All
students should be working on completing Spelling
list 22 activity pages for this Thursday.
In Math, we are starting Chapter 8. The grade 2 focus is
on two-digit by two-digit addition and subtraction. The grade 3 lessons will
surround exploring Area of various polygons.
In Social Studies, the grade 3 students
will continue to explore the historical world of Pioneers in Canada. This unit will focus on explaining how the
early settlers valued, used and looked after natural resources; comparing
aspects of life in early settler communities and present day communities;
describing the major components of early settlement (education, blacksmith,
church etc.) A project outline will be sent home after Easter.
The Grade
2 students will examine the properties of liquids and solids. Students will be
conducting experiments with aims of understanding solids and liquids. They will
be using scientific inquiry to witness changes in states of matter. A science project outline will be sent home
after the Easter break.
Important
Reminders
- Read a
text every night for 15 minutes. As you read, think about the narrative
perspective, your opinion about certain events that take place in the
story and the big idea/lesson of the text.
