Grade 2 Update:
Dear Parents,

The following is a quick update on what will be taking place this month in our classroom and at St. Luke’s:
Important Dates to Remember:
Monday November 11th -  Remembrance Day /No School
        November 29th  Field Trip to Glenbow Museum ( The information will go home on Tuesday)



What will we be learning about this month?
French Language Arts: We are working on comprehensions and story writing with a beginning, middle and end. We have started our Literacy Centres, a valuable tool in building vocabulary and confidence in speaking French.

English Language Arts: The novel “Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White is off to a great start. The kids are always excited to learn what happens next. We will study vocabulary, make predictions about the story as we read along and do multiple choice activities. Please read the note about the Diorama that we will create for Charlotte’s Web.
Math: We will continue representing and describing numbers to 100. We have started adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers without regrouping.  Basic facts and problem solving are ongoing.
Social Studies: We are studying the culture and language of the 3 communities of Iqaluit, Saskatoon and Meteghan. You could assist your child with this at home by looking at pictures of each of these communities online.
Science: We have started the Hot and Cold Unit in Science. Please ask your child what they have learned so far. They did their first experiment with thermometers today.
Health: We will continue exploring safety and responsibility and learn about nutrition. 
Art: This month, the students will be working on Inukshuks and their significance in Iqaluit.
Religion: The students will continue learning about how we belong to God’s Family and will explore the important aspects of our Church Community.
