Thank you to those of you who have signed up for parent teacher interviews. There are still a few spots available. Please log into your My CBE/PowerSchool account to choose a time. Due to parent teacher conferences students will have early dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday. 

Book orders came home today! Please check them out with your child. They are due on Sept 27th, 2019. Please order online. 

In Art we have been working on our self portraits using mixed media and using face proportions to help with the layout of our features. This was a tricky tasks and required some perseverance! The students did a great job! Their personal word will be on display with their portrait for parent teacher conferences. 

In Math we have been reviewing the one hundreds chart. We practiced counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. In grade two the curriculum expectations for a portion of the number section is for students to be able to:

Say the number sequence 0 to 100 by:
  • 2s, 5s and 10s, forward and backward, using starting points that are multiples of 2, 5 and 10 respectively
  • 10s, using starting points from 1 to 9
  • 2s, starting from 1.
And to:
  • Demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
In Social Studies we explored our community of Auburn Bay and what businesses and unique features we have here. 

In Language Arts we have continued to build our reading stamina during Read to Self. The students were very excited to use our stuffed animal reading buddies today. We will be learning a number of different reading strategies to help decode new words over the next few weeks.
