Math Test Wednesday

We have been very busy in grade 2! Our math unit is coming to a close. We have discussed different attributes, and how they are used to group things. We've also talked about patterns. We know that the core of the pattern must repeat 3 times. The students have had fun creating their own patterns as well. To conclude our math unit, we will be having our first math test on Wednesday, September 23.

We are also beginning our word study. The words of the week can be found in your child's agenda. The sound of the week is the a sound. Please practice these words with your child. They will be tested on their words every Monday.

Scholastic

The students will be bringing home Scholastic orders today. The orders are due Monday, September 28,2015. If you choose to order Scholastic, please either pay by cheque, payable to Scholastic Canada, or pay with the right amount of cash. I will not be giving change.

Mistake on post

I made a mistake on the blog yesterday. Our first math unit will focus on patterning and sorting. Today we learned how to sort object according to 2 attributes. We also learned how to sort using sorting circles (Venn diagram).

Welcome Back!

I am excited to start this school year with you and your children. We had a great day getting to know one another today. We have discussed classroom rules, expectations, and routines.

Tomorrow we will begin the curriculum. We will start our first math unit. It will concentrate on number sense. It will  review adding and subtracting strategies. We will also begin our first science unit. This unit focuses on the weather and the water cycle.

If you have any questions throughout the year, please feel free to contact me. I'm looking forward to a great school year!
