Growing Patterns in Math

Grade 2s, today we started learning about growing patterns in our math lesson today.  I hope you had fun looking at all the different growing patterns we created in class with the wallpaper and money! When you are at home, look for growing patterns around your house and you can share what kinds of patterns you saw at home in math class this week.  For more practice with growing patterns in math, click here! 

The Water Cycle

April showers bring May flowers! Grade 2s, I am sure most of you have noticed that it has been raining outside more often and that flowers are starting to bloom outside.  After we finish our Butterfly Life Cycle science unit, we are going to start learning about The Water Cycle! When we start learning about the water cycle, you will find out why and how it rains!

Get ready for Spring! Don't forget to bring your raincoat and rain boots to stay dry during recess at school when it is raining!  To learn more about each stage of the water cycle, click here!

The Butterfly Conservatory!

I hope you are all enjoying our science unit on Understanding Animal Systems with our focus on life cycles! Our class trip to The Butterfly Conservatory is coming up and I am very excited to share this experience with all of you.  You will be able to see the butterfly life cycle up close and all of the different stages involved.  If you would like more attention from the butterflies when we visit, remember to wear white or brightly coloured clothing to catch their eye!

We will be leaving in the morning on May 17 and coming back in time for lunch.  Make sure you have a big breakfast because we will be missing our morning snack.  Don't forget to practice the butterfly life cycle at home before we go on our trip!
