Week of Feb. 14 - 18, 2022

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend and thank you for continuing to work as BEST as you can on your school work and learning.  I greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to review their Report Cards in order to create their GRADE 2 LEARNING GOALS - remember what the Grade 1s said in their assembly - "IF YOU WANT TO GROW, PICK A GOAL".  With a goal in place, you are now able to focus on something you would like to improve on AND with strategies to help you reach the goal.  I am very proud of you for looking at what we can improve on and we still have lots of time to work on these - stay positive and always TRY YOUR BEST!  YOU CAN DO IT! =;)

Below are some pictures of our recent learning activities and I hope you went home with excitement and knowledge of these new topics.  You do know a lot, Grade 2s!  Believe in yourselves and you can reach for the stars!

HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND AND KEEP WORKING ON YOUR RAZKIDS AND MATHLETICS.  Remember to search online for ideas for your Science Insulation Project!  Have fun and be creative - don't forget to do your WRITE-UP/2 PAGES on Homework as well!

GYM - learning how to resolve issues with each other:

SCIENCE - HOT AND COLD - Boiler Room/Furnace (how we heat our homes and school) and seeing what happens when snow melts (does it change, how does it change, etc.):

VALENTINES DAY - sharing with each other, caring for each other (AMAZING GROUP OF STUDENTS):

OLYMPICS - demonstrating our appreciation for others and supporting each other (Character Education/Health):

ICE CREAM REWARD - our class continues to wear our Monday Formal Uniforms correctly - GREAT WORK, GRADE 2 STUDENTS IN ROOM 19:

Grade 2 Room 19 STUDENT PASSWORDS

Good morning Parents,

As we have now been able to use the computer room/library due to the past construction here at the school, we are now using the computers more (RazKids, Mathletics, Research, fun activities, etc.).  Please make sure you keep the CLASS PASSWORD the same as before -  this was provided at the beginning of the year (the password with:  animal2022 that we are using).  Please do not change the password at home as this can cause issues for the students to login at the school.  Thank you for your understanding and a note will go home for those students who's passwords were affected =;)

Have a great day and thank you for your help,

Mr. Engel

Week of Jan. 31 - Feb. 4, 2022 - "IF YOU WANT TO GROW, PICK A GOAL" - Grade 1 Assembly

Good afternoon students and families,

Thank you for your continued support in our students learning.  I greatly appreciate everyone who is working on their RazKids and Mathletics.  Each student knows which Letter Level they are on at school for READING and this is the level which they should be working on at home.  For example - if they are in Group A, they are currently working on Level "N".  Please make sure you are on the correct level and if you are unsure, please contact me and I can inform you.  Also, we are on the 7th or 8th section/TOPIC for Mathletics.   Please see the picture below and I hope you are enjoying the MATH activities they have for you.  Thank you to ALL the students who continue to do their part in their own learning - you are doing AMAZING =;)

MATHLETICS TOPICS (7 SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY NOW):

Below are some fun and exciting pictures of the learning activities we are working on here at the school.  Please take some time to share your learning and show your family just how much YOU do know!  Keep up the GREAT work and thank you for all your effort, Grade 2 students =;)

Science - Hot and Cold - exploring temperatures around the school (collecting data and graphing) and showing comparisons with temperature:

Math - working with shapes, describing shape dimensions, and creating a pictograph (collecting data and graphing):

Health/LA/Art - Character Eduction - creating a KINDNESS poster using Transition Phrases and their own comics:

LA - Acrostic Poem using Nature (Indigenous Learning activity) - the journey of a SNOWFLAKE:

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the nice weather.  Please remember to review your REPORT CARD with your parents so you can see the amazing work you are doing and the areas to improve in.  We will create our GRADE 2 LEARNING GOALS next week, thank you.  Remember what the Grade 1s said in their Assembly today: 

"IF YOU WANT TO GROW, PICK A GOAL" 

Report Card Goals:

- 2 things you're doing amazing in

- 2 things you can improve on (these will be your Grade 2 goals)

Your teacher,

Mr. Engel
