Welcome to Grade 2 in Mrs. Moynihan's classroom! We are going to have a fantastic year. There will be lots of exciting events and learning activities. Here in the blog you can stay up-to-date with our class, read about the things we are learning and even get an inside look with some photos.
Today is the 16th day of school. Everyday we begin our day by writing in our planners and then doing some quiet reading. During our calendar meeting time we discuss ways to represent the number of the day. We had lots of interesting ways to show 16. There were tally marks, addition facts, multiplication facts and subtraction facts. The students have also been working on their counting. In grade 2 students learn to count to 200 by 1's, 2's, 5's, 10's and 25's. You can practice this at your home.
We have been developing routines in our classroom involving reading by ourselves (R2S time) and writing in our journals.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 24 is the Terry Fox Run/Walk at our school. Please consider donating a toonie for Terry. You are certainly welcome to join us at 11:30 for the walk.
Milk orders are also due tomorrow. It's a great healthy choice at lunch time for the children.
Stay tuned for a great year!
