Language Arts

Our Writing focus has shifted into the 6 plus 1 writing program. We are working on "Organization" based on the story "A Busy Year". In Language Arts we are beginning to learn centers (I can statements and student expectations) and will move into center based instruction as soon as each centre has been taught. Each week we will continue doing a spelling unit and phonics to support the concept being taught. We will also be doing Daily Language and these sheets can be found as an attachment on the 2L homework page.

Math

Our third unit of study is 2D shapes and 3-D objects. In this unit we will be identifying, comparing, and sorting 2-D shapes. We will be looking at their attributes. We will also be learning basic 3-D objects, comparing them based on their attributes, and looking for them in our environment. This is a fun hands on unit that the students enjoy.We also do Daily Math and calendar activities based on the Math For Success program. The daily math sheets can be found as an attachment on the 2L homework page.

Science

In Science, our second unit of study is Exploring Liquids. We will be learning that liquids have different characteristics - colour, flow, shape. We will be looking at the properties of matter - solid, liquid, gas and learning that water can change states. We will be studying the water cycle and identify ways to keep water in our environment clean. This is a fun hands on unit that includes many experiments!

Social

In Social we are learning about the communities of Iqaluit, Meteghan, and Saskatoon. We are comparing these to our own community. In our second unit we are focusing on the people and culture of each community. We look at the Inuit in Iqaluit, the Acadians in Meteghan, and Ukrainians in Sakatoon. We will be looking at special symbols, landmarks, languages, and traditions that are characteristic of each community.
