Oct 12

This week in grad 2 we have been very busy!

In math we finished off the napping house problem and began learning about exploding math. Ask me about how exploding math works. Hint it has something to do with breaking numbers down into 10s, 5s, and 1,s

In writing we finished off learning about the 6 writing traits and how they are used in our writing. As we move forward in our writing we will continue to have conversations around these traits. Ask me about the 6 writing traits and how I practiced them in my writing this week.



In inquiry we continued to learn about historical figures such as chief Bull Head, Father Doucet, Sam Livingston, and Inspector Brisboise and how they helped to establish Calgary. We are now starting to learn about the scientific method and get ready for our in class field trip about liquids on Wednesday.


Today we learned about Pablo Picasso and tried our hand at cubism art. Check out some of the work below.


Also if you have not had a chance recently you should take a look at IRIS as the students have had a chance to post their reading and artifact presentation videos.

1) Liquids in class field trip: If you are able to volunteer please let me know as soon as possible as we are still in need of 1 volunteer. Thank you for your continued support.

2) Dance Residency: ROS Students will begin their dance residency on Monday. All classes have been scheduled to take part in four forty minute sessions with our guest instructor. The final session will be our Parent Share session. Parents are invited to the gym during this session to check out what students have been learning during the residency. You will have the opportunity to watch your son/daughter dance as well as to participate and have fun with them.
