Ms. Baldwin took the class fishing for Phys. Ed class on Thursday. We had lots of fun, even though we didn't catch any fish! The biggest thing we caught was the same log twice!! Maybe next time!

We have been working on 2D and 3D shapes. The students took up the challenge of building towers, one with 3D shapes and one with 2D shapes. They soon found out that they couldnt build with 2D shapes. It was much easier with 3D!!

Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a fun weekend and got out to enjoy the beautiful sunshine! It is hard to believe that we are at the last week of April!
Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Library - Our library day is on Tuesday. Make sure you bring your book back, so you can sign out another one.
Homework/Reading - The homework for the week is listed in the orange folders. This week our spelling words focus on /ing/ endings. Sometimes we have to drop the /e/ and add /ing/ and other words we double the last letter and add /ing/. The word work activity is on the spelling words as well. When you write your sentences, make sure they tell good details and begin and end the right way. In math we have started working on 2D and 3D shapes and continue to work on adding and subtracting using strategies. What 2D shapes can you find at home? We are doing more work with reading comprehension and reading for details. There is another story to work on. Remember to read eah night and record your book on the log sheet. Use the strategies we have been working on to help with your reading.
Earth Day - We had a virtual presentation this year from Melanie at Greater Miramichi Solid Waste Commission. We learned lots of good ways we can help the earth and Melanie dropped off lunch cans, reusable straws and forks and spoon sets. These are great items we can we reuse every day. As well we sent home seeds for trees and flowers for you to plant at home. If we all do our part we can make a difference!
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Our basil grew and was ready to cut. There was still one pod that did not grow! We gave it to the cafeteria and they will use it in their spaghetti sauce! We will see if more will grow!

We have been working on lots of reading, writing, math, art and word work activities with an Earth Day theme. The students all wrote a promise to the Earth and did an awesome job with their Earth Day Posters!

Hi Everyone!
Welcome back! I hope you had a fun long weekend! We are back to a 5 day week.
Phys. Ed - Our Phys. Ed days this week are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Library - Our library day is on Tuesday, so make sure you bring your book back, so you can sign out another one.
Homework/Reading - The homework for the week is listed in the orange folders. Our spelling words focus on compound words. Putting together two smaller words, to make one word. The word work activity is on this as well. When you are writing your sentences, make sure to tell good details and begin and end your sentences properly. With Earth Day coming up this week, we are finding out about ways we can help take care of our planet. The reading comprehension story is about Earth Day. Remember to read the story twice, highlight or underline the answers in the story and circle the right answer. In math we are doing more work with mental math strategies to help with adding and subtracting and continue to work on counting in different ways from different starting points. Use your strategies to solve the number problems, then use the chart to break the code and reveal an Earth Day message. Make sure you read your book each night and record it on the log sheet.
Literacy/ Math For Home - This week I am sending home: Math strategies and fact sheet; number line and 100 chart; sight word sheets. These are for you to keep at home and work on and use for the rest of the year. The Grade 2 Sight Word list is one that I sent home earlier in the year, but am resending. Lists #3 & #4 are new lists. You will notice that some words are repeated from other lists that we had, but it is good practice, to make sure they know them well. The math strategies are ones we have been using at school, so you have an idea of what the students are working on and how they are solving addition and subtraction number sentences. We will be starting 2 digit addition and subtraction next month, knowing the strategies will help with this.
Earth Day - Earth Day is on Thursday April 22nd. We are reading, writing and doing art work about ways we can help to take care of our planet. You can wear blue and or green on this day to help celebrate. If possible try to bring a litterless lunch. We are trying to throw out as little garbage as we can on that day. Every little bit helps!
Have a fabulous week!
