Social Studies

In Social Studies we are learning about Traditions and Celebrations in Canada and the World. So far we have learned about special celebrations in our lives. Students have written about their favourite celebrations, and interviewed a friend about their favourite celebration. We have also played a fun matching game with celebrations and their definitions, the students LOVED it!

Letter Writing

So far with my Grade 2 class we have been working on letter writing. This is done during our Writer's Workshop. We have written both friendly and persuasive letters based on the books "I Wanna Iguana", "Yours Truly Goldilocks". We have also written letters to Mrs.Beswick and our Jungalympic friends. We are currently writing our Santa letters. In our Santa letters students will be not only asking for things they would like but making a wish to better someone else's life in our world.
