Over the past two weeks, our Grade 2 students have been engaged in a range of exciting learning experiences across all subject areas.In Reading, we have continued enjoying our class novel Stuart Little. Students have been developing their comprehension skills by answering inferential questions and thinking more deeply about the text. We have also been exploring character traits, identifying both inside (personality) and outside (physical) characteristics of the characters. In Writing, we have been focusing on creating engaging “sizzling starts” for narratives. Students have been experimenting with onomatopoeia and dialogue to capture the reader’s attention and bring their stories to life. In Maths, we have been learning about place value. Students have been practising sorting and representing numbers using place value charts, helping them build a strong understanding of number structure. In Connected Learning, we have been exploring our personal strengths. Students are reflecting on what they do well and are beginning to work towards creating their own “Strengths Satchel.”
