-Learning strategies for adding and subtracting numbers to 18
-Composing postcards to send to schools across Canada

Since returning to school, we have welcomed a new student to the 2B class! Jacob and his family have joined us from Montreal.

This past week, we have been busy learning about birds. Each student chose a bird to research and completed a mini bird booklet, with a diagram and interesting facts. We are in the process of presenting the projects aloud to the class.

Paining our houses

We also named and assembled our class towns. 2A's town is called "Money Town" and 2B's town is called "Electronicville". We paper mached and painted milk cartons, which we then decorated to look like houses. We assembled the town on garbage bags and added trees and cars. Each student will choose a profession to take on in our town.

Please watch for Community Helper Project information to come home on Tuesday, January 14th. Please help your child to complete his or her research and return the rough draft to school on Thursday, January 23rd. You are invited to come to school to watch your child's presentation.  If the date and time do not work for you, please feel free to contact another parent to see if their child can switch with your child.  Please make sure to let me know if there are any changes to the schedule.
