Dear Families,
It was fabulous seeing my students this week, I had missed them tremendously! I hope you enjoyed your March Break with them. I heard so many neat experiences! Now we're back to our regular routines and regimes, I bet as a parent you're delighted by this too :-)
Math:
On Monday, I handed back 'Time' assessments. I'm impressed with the students progress in this area of mathematics! Most are able to confidently tell time to the hour, half hour, quarter hour, and some even have extended their learning by telling time to the minute (not a Grade 2 expectation, but I exposed this to them). I am encouraging families to continue to incidentally ask their child to tell time to further reinforce this learned concept. Thank you!
Animal Report Projects:
On Wednesday, students worked hard to put together their projects. It was lovely to see their enthusiasm and diligence to get this job done! Now we are in the process of preparing an oral presentation. Each child will have the opportunity to present their report not only with our class but also to Mrs. A's students. Below I've posted pictures of us listening to Mrs. A's students present their projects in their class, they certainly inspired us! Check us out being attentive listeners!!
Now it's our turn to present to Mrs. A's class! We will be ready for this next week!! Check us out as we organize our information!
Math Consolidation (sharing):
As part of our 3 Part Math Lessons, students get an opportunity to listen, share, and communicate their mathematical thinking with a peer. It is an informative time for me as the teacher because I get to see your child being cooperative, collaborative and accountable! Each student has the opportunity to learn, teach, and grow! During these times, I also encourage the kids to give 'feedback' to their peer to help improve their achievement! Ask your child what this means :)
Bucket-Filling Moment:
Here I am again sharing my second bucket-filling moment! It truly warms my heart when these experience happen genuinely. Ethan F. noticed on his own that a fellow peer needed some assistance with reading his animal report information. The boys decided to go to the back of the classroom quietly to do this. A pure, genuine, and real moment of caring, compassion, and KINDNESS. Thank you Ethan F. for displaying character in your thoughts, words, and actions! You're amazing :)
'Hoppy' Easter:
I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter with your family and friends. As many are aware, it is Good Friday this week (no school) and Easter Monday (no school), so students will be back to school on Tuesday. Some children have shared their Easter traditions that they partake in with YOU! Enjoy these precious activities with your child and I look forward to hearing all about them next week!
