Good Morning Grade 2!

Good News!! We will all be back to school on Monday January 31^st!!

Happy Friday!! I hope that everyone had a great day yesterday! It is a warmer start to the day than yesterday, but still a little chilly. It is supposed to get warmer by the afternoon and we are expecting some 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 –  Spelling Test - Week 9 - The focus this week is on the long /a/ and bossy /e/ vowel sounds that make the /a/ say its own name. Use the test sheet in your pack and have someone call out the words for you. Spell them on the sheet. Good luck!

Home Learning Pack – Week 3

• Word Work – Sight Words – Get out your sight word lists from the Home Learning Kit and see how many you know.
• Math – Warm Up – Count and Move! – Put on a Jack Hartman Video, or count and move on your own. Try counting  by 10s starting at different numbers from 1 to 9.
• Math – Sheet – Number 45 – Showing Numbers In Different Ways – Show the number 45 in different ways on each box on the sheet. We have worked on place value, base ten blocks, tally marks, odd and even and more and less.
• Math Game – Play your favourite one from your Learning Pack or The Purple Board Sheet in the Home Learning Kit.
• Writing/Art – Sheet – Winter Poster – All About My Favourite Things . If you didn’t get your poster done, you can finish it up. Check and see if you finished making your book from last week. If you didn’t get all the pages done you can work on this. We will read them to the class when we are all back together.
• Read – Share a story book with someone at home; share one from Tumble Books. The link and passwords are on the class page. Maybe look for a winter story. Read some of the winter poems, this is a good way to practice fluency.

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. How many Fridays are there in this month? What day of the week did this month start on? What was the date 3 days ago?
• Check the weblink for the weather. Compare the temperatures for the next 7 days. What is the high? What is the low? What will the temperature be on Monday? Are we getting a snowy, cloudy, or sunny day on Monday?

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.

Outdoor Play/Physical Activity

• It looks like it might be warmer this afternoon with some snow, so if you can, get outside to play and have fun!
• Check Mrs. Dickson’s page for some fun Phys. Ed activities.

STEAM Time

• If you have not done a STEAM activity yet this week, check the STEAM Board in the documents section or the ASD-N Cross Curricular BINGO Card in the Photo Galleries Section.

ASD-N Math Board

• There are 2 Math Boards created by the District Math Leads in the Documents section. You might find an activity on one of the boards you would like to try.

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.

I am available throughout the day by e-mail or phone if you have any questions or need support with activities.  I am here to help, so please reach out for anything you need.  lisa.sullivan@nbed.nb.ca      627-4074
