Have a look at some of the exciting things we will learn in Grade 2:
 

In Grade Two, a thematic approach has been implemented to meet the learning outcomes.  Each month, we will study an exciting topic such as Bats, Space, Dinosaurs, Weather, and Trees.  We are exploring children’s literature through Author studies, Reader’s Theatre, and Literature Circles.  Silent Reading and our Home School Reading Program continue to be an important part of literacy development.  The students will continue using various forms of writing and be introduced to new strategies, techniques and forms.

Our math program, Quest 2000, is a “hands-on” program that helps the students acquire mathematical concepts through active learning.

Computer continuums are being implemented to assess student progress and measure specific learning outcomes.  Technology will be incorporated into our resource units to further enhance computer technology skills.

Our Grade Two Health program will involve students in such topics as I am Special, Safety, Healthy Food and Bodies.  The students will study Science topics such as trees, rocks, fossils, matter and light.  These topics will foster a respect for the environment, and a desire to understand the natural world.

The students are excited about the introduction of cursive writing this year.

We are looking forward to a great year filled with learning and fun.
