Room 8 ~ Grade 2 & 3

Grades 1 - 6 2023 School Supply List.pdf

Hello the Great Room 8 Families, I hope that you all had a wonderful break. Here in Room 8, we are getting back into the flow and are making sure that we are taking care of each other, our belongings, and our community. We will be participating in more community walks and finding new ways to improve the neighborhood.  

In math, we wrapped up last term with Parts-Whole boxes with numbers into the hundreds. Students have been doing so incredibly well, so this month, we are working on multiplication and division. Students are exploring the similarities between the two functions and what makes them best friends. We are also practicing skip counting, repeated addition and subtraction, making groups, and creating arrays. Students will also be problem solving using real-life examples to deepen their understanding and purpose of math.  

In Reader’s Workshop, we are practicing being good leaders in our groups, selecting appropriate levelled texts, decoding challenging words, spelling, and comprehension. Students are diving deeper into their reading by responding to more challenging questions that involve connections to our own lives, other texts, and the world around us.  

In Writer’s Workshop, we are practicing our persuasive writing – the art of convincing someone else to do (or not do) something. We are making an opening statement, arguments with reasons and examples, as well as closing statements. Students will be sending these letters to various people, so be on the lookout for more information to come.  

As always, stay connected to our Seesaw Class so students can share their learning with their families.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns – please let me know.
