Hello Parents,

Well, it was another wonderful ride here in Grade Two at the Maples Academy! We began our morning working on our weekly spelling exercises and our phonics. Following these two subject areas we continued our review for our Math Quiz on Measurement.

In Math, the students took the time to think about how to measure the distance around an object. They positively communicated this understanding in a large group discussion. They were incredibly focused and balanced when completing their task.

In the afternoon, the Grade Twos continued with their writing of a "Toy Story". They focused on their understanding of paragraph writing and remained wonderfully creative! I am thrilled with their completed stories and they beautifully expressed their own personalaities throughout the writing assignment.

Following Writers Workshop the class engaged in the subject of Values continuing our focus on "Courage". After Values the students had gym where they excelled in their knowledge of "Fitness Benefits".
