Hello Parents!

How thrilled I am to have met all the children in this amazing Grade 2 class!  My name is Miss. Clapham, and I will be your child's teacher from now until year end!  All the children made me feel so welcome by sharing their favourite things and demonstrating how responsible they are with all their roles and expectations.

We started the morning with new Spelling words. In Phonics we reviewed -ing and -ed word endings as well as base words. Language Arts continued with A Little Princess. The students read silently and worked diligently on their chapter questions.

In Mathematics, the students reviewed for their Math Unit test tomorrow. They were extremely helpful to explain multiplication and division strategies with one another. I shared a new strategy for multiplying and dividing which was folded and placed in their agendas for review.

Science - These insightful students discussed different types of  mechanisms that help us from day to day, as well as brainstormed other tools that make our lives just a little bit easier. (Pulleys, levers, wedges, hinges, etc)
Printing - Capital J
Library Exchange - students checked out new books, and returned previously checked out books.

The students were efficient and helpful to one another and me during the days activities.
I look forward to meeting you all over the next few weeks!
Enjoy this wonderful day!
