Hello Families,
It has been so wonderful being back in Room 2 with all of my little friends this week! I am so happy to be back to the classroom and continuing the work that Mr. Meeks and the grade 2 and 3 team has been working on. It was a great opportunity to be in a role where I was able to develop new skills and support lots of students, thanks for your flexibility with the changes!
We have been getting a ton of work done this week to prepare for our field trip to the Calgary Zoo next week. It's exciting to think that many of these students have never been on field trips (and school busses) before! I know we are going to have an amazing time at the zoo and have lots of opportunities to apply our animal learning about habitat, diet, needs, and physical adaptations through sketching. labelling, and jot notes. We will be using this animal research to guide our next non-fiction writing work.
We are also finishing up learning about the Nova Scotia community of Meteghan through a string inspired art project to represent the natural resources, landforms, physical geography, and goods and services of the region. Next, we will be looking at Prairie communities with a focus on Saskatoon.
We are developing our mathematical reasoning and vocabulary through a daily "Which One Doesn't Belong" or WODB task. From this work, we have teased out mathematical vocabulary such as even, pairs, doubles, sum, difference, and many more.
Please note that today (Thursday) students may have chosen to bring Library books from LBS home with them. Please take care of these books as you would your own and return them each Wednesday or Thursday so new books can be selected. If books are not returned, a charge will be added to your school account.
I hope everyone is doing well, again, I am so happy to be back in the classroom with all of these amazing kiddos!
Take care,
