Home Learning for Nov. 12 and Zoom Link

Good Morning!

Today we have a new writing video from Mr. M. You will be learning about adding a title to your small moment story and making sure that all your ideas stay on topic. 

In Math you can finish up this week's choice board that will help you continue to practice some of the things we learned in class. I am attaching it again so you can find it easily. See if you are getting faster with your doubles ( like 3+3=6,  5+5=10,  6+6=12 ) and your friends of ten ( like 4 and 6, 9 and 1, 8 and 2 ). Next week we will practice using our doubles and friends of ten to help us add numbers quickly. 

Be sure to spend some time on dreambox as well, which also happens to be a square on your choice board. 

Have you had a chance to try Ms. Jessi's Exploration activities? I am attaching them as well just in case you will be using them today.

We have a zoom call at 9 this morning. We hope you can join us by clicking on the link below.

Have a great weekend...AND...Happy Birthday to Journey who is having a Birthday on Sunday!!!

Here's your link for our chat coming up at 9:00!

Home Learning for Nov. 10th

Hello Boys and Girls!

Today Mr. M has posted a video message about Remembrance Day and a writing assignment in honour of Nov. 11th. There is an attachment below with a link to a Remembrance Day video to watch first. 

Math activities on a choice board were posted yesterday and you will choose a few more activities to review what we learned in class. 

There will be no learning posted for tomorrow, Remembrance Day, as we take time to remember present day soldiers and our veterans who served or serve our country to keep us safe. 

Our next zoom call will be on Friday at 9am. We were happy to chat with Axl yesterday and hope you can all join us next time!

Have a great day!

Home Learning for Monday, November 8th

Hello Grade 2!

Welcome to your Home Learning for Monday! What are you learning today?

Exploration with Ms. Jessi: This week Ms. Jessi has included three attachments to explore French vocabulary for colours through songs, scavenger hunt and art.

Literacy with Mr. McLaughlin: Today you have two new videos from Mr. M to help with your reading and writing.

Math with Mrs. Chapman: Start at 50 and count backwards by 2s. Can you go forwards and backwards to 100?   

Go on a scavenger hunt to find numbers around the house. Example: a clock, a remote. Where do you see numbers? Write the numbers you see. 

If you have a pack of cards at home, here are two games you will remember playing in class:

·         Place Value Number Battle

o   Materials: Deck of cards with the face cards and 10s removed, Ace worth one

o   Skill: Number recognition, place value, order, and sequencing

o   How to Play: Players split a deck of cards and flip over their top two cards to create a 2-digit number. Players may move the cards and place in any position of the number they wish. Highest number wins all the cards.

 

·         Give Me 10

o   Materials: Deck of cards with the face cards removed. Ace is worth one.

o   Skill: Number recognition and addition

o   How to Play: Deal 10 cards face up.

o   Players take turns finding and removing combinations of cards that add up to 10.

 

 

Have a great start to your week, boys and girls!

Home Learning for Nov. 5th

Happy Friday Boys and Girls!

Today you have a new video from Mr. M for literacy and you will be going on a Math Scavenger Hunt in Math.

Find numbers in magazines or flyers that you have around the house that you have permission to cut. Try to find numbers up to 100 (or even higher if you want to try 3 digit numbers). Glue your numbers in order on paper (or construction paper if you have some at home)  and read the numbers to an adult.

Spend some time on Dream Box using your password as well.

We hope you can join us this morning at 9am on zoom using the link below.

Have a great weekend!
