Good Morning Grade 2!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their day yesterday and that you were able to 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.
• Writing – Sheet – 6+1 writing Traits – We were working on organizing our writing and telling things in order, so it makes sense and sounds right. It’s Winter! How do you get ready to go outside and play in the snow? What do you put on first? Tell the steps in order and draw and colour a picture to go with each step. Use the words at the bottom to help with your writing. Make sure your sentences begin and end properly.

Home Learning Pack – Week 2

• Word Work – Sheet – Work 8 Spelling Words Word Search – Find all 10 spelling words in the puzzle. Practice spelling them in the boxes when you find them.
• Math – Warm Up – Count and Move! – Put on a Jack Hartman Video, or count and move on your own. Try counting by 2s to 100, or as high as you can go.
• Math – Sheet – Numbers and Operations – Adding and Subtracting – Read each word problem and solve it. Use your strategies to help solve the number sentences.
• Math Game – Try Add It UP – Quick Facts – 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 – Making Your Own Book – There is a blank book to use in your pack. Today you can think of some ideas you would like to write a book about. Find a piece of paper to write your ideas on. Make a choice and come up with a title. You can get started on the book tomorrow.
• 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. What day of the week is it? How many days in one week? What day of the week is tomorrow? What day was yesterday?
• Check the weblink for the weather. Compare the temperatures for the next 7 days. What is the high? What is the low?

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 or go for a walk.
• If it’s too cold, check Mrs. Dickson’s page for some fun Phys. Ed activities.

STEAM Time

• Check the STEAM Choice Board under the Documents Tab. Try to do 1 activity during the week.

ASD-N Cross-Curricular BINGO Card

• There is 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.
