I would like to wish all of my Grade 2 students and their families a very happy holiday season. Thank you for all of your hard work over the past few months. It has been wonderful learning with you!

Enjoy the winter break and I will see you in January!

We have started learning about writing procedures. Today the students told me the procedure for making a bagel with cream cheese and I acted it out. We found out how important it is to be specific when you are writing your steps! Please try to find a procedure at home and bring it in to share with the class. Some ideas are recipes, instructions for making crafts, lego instructions, game instructions, directions, instructions for how to set up furniture, etc. It will be fun to see all of the different procedures students are able to find at home!
