Mrs. Stewart's Grade Two Adventure!

Highlights of Grade Two: we went on our hard earned community walk today and got to play at the Harvest Hills park! We did an amazing job and had so much fun! we worked on our frog research today, ask me how far I got into my published copy of my book we did the May winter count, we had SO many things to choose from because we did lots of cool things in May.  Ask me what I drew for May we finished our pages for materials in science.  We learned about the materials: wood, paper, rubber, stone, leather, plastic, glass, metal and fabric. We talked about where they come from and if they are renewable or non-renewable.

 Reminders: There is a spring carnival at North Trail High School this Saturday.  See the photo below for details. We will be going for a community walk on Friday May 29th.  Highlights of Grade Two: we have some new classmates.....well not yet! They still have to hatch!!  We have chick eggs in our classroom in an incubator and we are waiting to see how many of them will hatch into chicks! We will be learning about the life cycle of animals first hand by watching the chick eggs! we candled the chick eggs today and sketched what we saw, ask me what this means and what I saw we are learning about shapes,  both 2D and 3D shapes! Today we made a cube...ask me how many faces, vertices and edges a cube has we did reading stations today, ask me which ones I went to we did Spellie, ask me what the words were we began a new science unit on matter and materials.  We will be learning about how all things are made of matter, and how some objects can be made out of two o...

Reminders: Highlights of Grade Two: we had a cultural day parade where anybody who wanted to show off what they wore today got to do a fashion show walk down our hallway! Ask me about this we heard speeches from our three party leaders and got to vote on who we would like to 'Rule the World'! We read a book called "If Kids Could Rule the World" so this gave us some ideas on what we could do if kids could rule the world.  Then we went to our classroom polling station, checked in with our ID and got to cast a ballot! Ask me who won and what they promised....something about roller coasters and video game school!!  The runners up also promised some amazing things like taking care of the environment and helping the poor - we have some amazing leaders in this class!  we made fraction ice cream cones. Ask me to show you one we went to phys. ed we did some frog research, ask me what stage of research I am on.
