Some updates and ideas...

Hello Grade 2s

First of all, we hope you are healthy and staying safe :) Secondly, I miss you so much!!!

Currently we are all asked to be patient while the CBE makes a plan going forward. Please give yourself permission to take it easy this week. Play, cook, sew, draw, read, and play some more!

Some parents have inquired about ways to support their child's learning at home. More information will be coming out in the days ahead. In the meantime, IF you are interested, here is a list the learning we had planned for this week:

*The CBE will be sending out a list of approved sites shortly.

Math:

• Continue practicing your Number Facts and Subtraction.

Art and Games for Cognitive Flexibility

• Play board games! Here are a few to try:
• Cribbage:
• Card games
• Monopoly
• Scrabble
• Boggle
• Checkers

Inquiry:

• Work on your design thinking challenge for the Arctic. Work through the ideation process and prototype. For fun, if you want to build your prototype and send your teacher a picture, we can post it on the blog!
• Check out this fun movie about life in the Arctic - David Suzuki and the Nature of Things follows two different groups of polar bears: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5eseix 
• Explore some other options for documentaries such as Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, and Human Planet. These are all amazing documentaries where students can continue to make connections about what we have done in the class and to the world. 

Writing:

• Continue writing your arctic stories 
• Type up on google docs and share with me --> chacraig@educbe.ca (please only use this address to share work) 

Reading:

• Raz kids  https://www.raz-kids.com/

Please take care and don't forget to take your recess outside!

Play and fresh air!

I hope to see you all soon,

Ms. Craig :)
Please keep in touch and let me know what you are up to!
