Good Morning Grade 2!

I hope that everyone had a good day yesterday. Maybe today you can get outside to play in the snow!

Here are some activities you can work on today.

Orange Homework Books

• Read – Choose a book to read from the reading bag. Use your strategies to help with the reading and record the book on the log sheet.
• Spelling – Week 8 - The focus this week is on the /o/ and /e/ vowel sounds that say their own name in shorter words. Go over the words, practice spelling them out loud.
• Math– Sheet – Numbers and Operations – Mental Math Strategies – 2 more/2less; Subtracting 0; Word Problems.

Home Learning Pack – Week 2

• Word Work – Sheet – Colour By Spelling Word – Use the colour code to colour the spelling words the right colour. Practice spelling the words out loud as you say them.
• Math – Warm Up – Count and Move! – Put on a Jack Hartman Video, or count and move on your own. Try counting by 1s; Forwards to 50 and backwards from 50 to 1.
• Math – Facts – Choose one set of facts from the orange sheet in your pack and work on them.
• Math Game – Try Snowman Bump or Math Dice Game – Make The Greatest Number; This one is in the purple Folder on the Math Card and Dice Games Board, in Your Home Learning Kit that was sent home at the beginning of the year.
• Writing – Main Idea – Winter – Sheet – Put a title on the top line. Make sure you have a good opening sentence; tell at least 6 good, detailed sentences about winter; have a good ending sentence. Yesterday you got a start on this writing piece. Read over what you have so far, so you don’t write the same thing. Think about what you want to write first; use the words on the bottom to help with your writing; draw and colour a detailed picture to go with it. Don’t Forget to put a title.
• Read – Share a story book with someone at home or share one from Tumble Books. The link and passwords are on the class page.

Calendar and Weather

• Go over the calendar and weather. There is a calendar page added to the Documents section on the class page, or you might have a calendar at home to use.
• Check the weblink for the weather. Compare the temperatures for the next 7 days. What is the high? What is the low? How many days will we have snow? How many days for sun? Which one is more? How much more?

Technology/On-Line Programs

• If you have access to a device and have some extra time, you can log on to Squiggle Park or Dream Box Math and play.
• Codes are on the front cover of your agendas if you have them home. If not, I e-mailed them to you. Let me know if there is any trouble accessing them.

Home Learning Kits

• Just a reminder that you can also use materials from the Home Learning Kit that was sent home at the beginning of the year if you are looking for extra activities.
• There are lots of math games you can play with your family too.

Outdoor Play/Physical Activity

• If it is a nice day try to get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and play in the snow! It might be good snow for making things!
• Check Mrs. Dickson’s page for some fun Phys. Ed activities.

STEAM Time

• I have added a STEAM Choice Board under the Documents Tab. Try to do 1 activity during the week.

ASD-N Cross-Curricular BINGO Card

• I have added a BINGO Card with lots of different activities to try from our ASD-N Leads.
• You might find some activities here that you would like to try out.

Photos

• Send along pictures of any of the activities you do. I would love to see them and will add them to our class page to share with the rest of the class.

Pick Up – Home Learning Packs – Week 3

• Parents/Guardians will be able to pick up Home Learning Packs for Week 3(January 24 - 28) on Friday January 21^st from 12:30 – 3:30PM. If this time does not work for you, please let me know and we can arrange another time.
