This Week in Grade 2 - Dec 10 - Dec 14

Posted December 9, 2012

We had a fun day of holiday activities on Sunday at BPS. Thank you parents for your support to Mrs. Lloyd for baking a delicious treat!

Kings Landing was fun and informative. The students learned about holiday traditions of past, participated in many activities, made some crafts and tasted a few old time traditions.

Turkey Dinner is on Thursday. Students in grade 2 who have purchased tickets can begin lunch in the cafeteria at 11:30. (Tickets had to be purchased by Dec 7th).

We are continuing with our Traditions presentations this week. The rubrics will be going home with those presenting this week.

Music rehearsal for the Christmas concert will take place this week with Mrs. T. The grade 2's should have their song lyrics in the home bags.

Math – we are going to wrap up for current unit (Numbers to 100) over this week and complete some post assessments next week. I will be posting more websites that the students will enjoy playing.

Literacy – We are wrapping up (no pun intended) our CAFÉ strategies by reading the Polar Express. It is a fantastic way to review all strategies from this year. For writing, this week students will work on publishing another piece for an author’s celebration on Friday. We will revisit our revision and editing strategies and review spelling. During the last week, all grade 2’s will get the opportunity for some creative writing about their trip to Kings Landing.
