Posts: ​Weekly What’s Up: November 19-23, 2018

11/20/2018 7:57 AM by Amanda.Davis

Grade 2 was
quite excited about all the snow on the playground.  I think it’s safe to say that winter is here
to stay. Please remember that students to come in the morning dressed to play
outside.  I also recommend sending in a
change of clothes that your child can keep in the classroom.


 

We are in
the home stretch of our kitchen construction. 
The theme of the S.T.A.R. student assembly for November is teamwork and
Mrs. Burnett has invited our class to talk about how we used teamwork to build
our kitchen!  Congratulations to Brock
and Hunter on being chosen as the grade 2 S.T.A.R. students for November (this
will be revealed at the assembly on Tuesday).

 

The students
have earned their first whole class reward and have chosen “bring a stuffie to
school”.  On Thursday, November 22
students may bring one stuffie to school. 
The only rule is that it must fit in their book bag.

 

The time for
your parent teacher interview will be included in your child’s report card
envelop.  If you are unable to come
during your slot, please let myself or Mrs. Yerxa know and we can try to
reschedule.  Please go over the report
card with your child and celebrate their success this term and discuss goals
for the future.  Sign the comment page
and return it in the envelop.  The report
card is yours to keep.  I look forward to
meeting with you!

 

Literacy:   Please remember to record the title of the book
that your child reads each night. Your child should be bringing home a book to
read each night.

 

Our
No Excuses words for this week are: like,
my, then, would and your.  This week’s words provided a great
introduction to homophones, words that sound the same but are spelled
differently.

 

While
the Christmas books will wait one more week to make their appearance I have
begun reading some snow themed books. 

 

Math:
 This week our
numbers will be 51-54.  You can ask your
child to show you a representation that we came up with in class or you can
have them create their own representation. 
You can also practice skip counting to that number. 

 

We are continuing to work on 2D shapes and looking for
10 partners and doubles every chance we get. 
Our goal is to be able to answer 10 partner and doubles questions ‘in a
snap’.  You can practice at home by
calling out a number and asking your child to double it or tell you what its 10
partner is. We are also practicing place value to 50 and adding and subtracting
with zero.
