We have had another great month of learning in grade two! We celebrated I LOVE TO READ month and many different books were read by the students and to the students, including some guest readers. The students have been reading independently during Read to Self and are developing amazing reading stamina! They have already demonstrated to read independently for 20 minutes. Through a variety of whole group and small group instruction, the students have continued to work on strengthening their reading, writing, and spelling skills. They are showing more confidence in reading different types of stories including informational texts. about various animals we have been studying in our science unit. We have been looking at text features (diagrams, pictures, table of contents) and how they help us as a reader to better understand. They have finished their informational writing and many interesting facts were shared about different animals. I continually encourage your child to take books home to practice their reading fluency and the skills and strategies they learn at school. Thank you for your ongoing support with our Home Reading program. 

In math, we are working on developing our place value skills (10’s/1’s) with numbers to 100. We are learning that the position of a number affects its value (e.g., 23- 3 has a value of “3” but the “2” actually has a value of 20). We continue to practice our counting skills backward from 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s which will help us to more effectively work with numbers using mental math strategies and a number line. We have started to investigate “matter,” (Solids, Liquids, Gases) and how materials are similar and different from one another, including how they look, feel and change. In social studies we continue our study of a Manitoba community and have been learning about the weather, land and what daily life is like in Churchill. Your child’s second progress report will have a lot for you and your child to celebrate. I look forward to discussing their progress and growth at our upcoming student led conferences.
