Ms Mondor's Grade Two Website

Summary of the Week! (Oct. 21)

What a busy and exciting week! We did some catching up since Ms Mondor was away last week. Here are some highlights:

  • The most exciting was having three days of inline skating!
  • Almost as exciting as inline skating was extracting DNA from strawberries! Mrs. Adam’s daughter came in to teach science.
  • Mrs. Adam and the class continued to work with hot and cold temperatures. Try the Change It activity at home!
  • Students learned a new reading centre called Poetry Performance. Students have to choose a poem we have read as a class and practice reading it one their own or with a partner. Then they add actions. They perform this poem in front of the class.  Try Days of the Week at home.
  • Students had a social quiz and did AWESOME on it. We are ready to move on from studying Alberta, to learning about Nunavut.
  • Students have been applying their basic math strategies in games and doing math facts quizzes. Try Math Strategies Ideas for At Home
  • Ms Mondor brought back maple leaves from Michigan. Students did their final texture project using these leaves.
  • We talked about the importance of keeping organized.
  • The class newsletter was uploaded to SchoolZone. Make sure you log on and read it as a family!
  • Students learned a new dance – The Chicken Dance. Try it at home!
