Helping Kids Like You!


Make sure you and your parents read this :)

There are many kids just like all of you who love going to school to learn new things, but sometimes they don't have the money to do everything you get to do. Some kids can't afford to go on field trips, buy school supplies, or even bring a lunch everyday to school.

The Angel Foundation is asking us to try and make any donations that we can to help kids like you who might not be able to afford all of the cool stuff you get to do in school. Our school will be raising money up until February 9th to help the Angel Foundation give to kids who need our help the most.

On Tuesday, I will bring in a jar that I hope our class will be able to fill. I'll start it off by putting in $10.00. I hope that all of you will be able to bring in whatever change you can to help out.

Our virtue of the month for February is love. What better way to show love for one another by helping those who are in need :)

Internet Free Weekend

Hello everyone!

I apologize for not posting on Friday. I did not have any internet access over the weekend...so I hope you all enjoyed a bit of a break! :)

I'm sure that this week will be a fantastic one! Please remember, I want to see/talk to all of your parents for parent-teacher interviews in February. I need all of your forms as soon as possible.

Thanks a bunch!

Simple Machines and Other Things...

This week, we have been looking more into simple machines and how they help to make life easier. So far we have seen how an inclined plane helps to make lifting heavy objects easier. There are still many more simple machines that we will be exploring over the next few weeks. Have a look at this website to learn more about different kinds of simple machines, and take the quiz to see how much you know so far:

We have begun our 2D shapes unit in math. So far, we have reviewed what sides and vertices (corners) are. Have a look at these shapes and try to count how many sides and vertices they have.


That's all for now! Enjoy your day off!

Social Studies Project


I hope you are all very excited to start your social studies projects! If you click on the pictures here, you can see the example I showed you in class. Please remember to:
  • Write in sentences.
  • Colour your pictures.
  • Tell me where you get your information for your project from.

If you look over the example, it should help you remember everything we talked about in class. If you are still not sure which country you want to research, here's the list we talked about in class:

  • China
  • Brazil
  • Mexico
  • United States
  • Africa
  • Australia
  • Korea
  • Ireland
  • France
  • Egypt
  • Argentina
  • Scotland
  • Portugal
  • Italy
  • India
  • Greece
  • England
  • Philippines
  • Poland
  • Jamaica
  • Spain
  • Germany

You do not have to choose from this list, it is just meant to give you ideas. Remember, your project is due January 20th. I'm sure all of your projects will be fantastic! I can't wait to read them!

As we finish our social studies unit on communities, we will be beginning our science unit on movement this coming Tuesday.

For math, we have just finished chapter 6 on place value. Please remember to complete your math review sheets. If you are able to do all of the work for your math test review, then you will definitely do well on the test. Our math test will be Monday January 17th, so please remember to study.

That's all for now! Enjoy the weekend!

Information About Skating


I've had a few of you come up to me to ask if we have skating this Friday, and we are not skating on Friday.

On the school calendar, our class only goes skating with the grade ones. The other days that have grade 2's and 3's listed for skating is for the split grade 2/3 classes.

Hope this clears things up :)

Welcome Back!

I had a great winter break, and I hope you did too!

This week has been a busy one, and you have all done a great job of getting back into school mode.

On Wednesday we looked at how we could use base ten blocks as an addition strategy. Here's the same link for you to try at home on your own:

Adding with Base Ten Blocks

Here are a few other math links for you to refresh yourself on place value.

Identify Place Value

Type the Number You See

We are almost finished our social studies unit on communities around the world. I will be assigning a project for you next week. For now, have a look at these pictures of two different communities:

Community 1

Community 2

How are they different? How are they the same?

Don't forget, we will be going skating on Wednesday January 12th. Remember to bring your skates and a helmet!

That's all for now! Have a great weekend!
