In math, we have wrapped up our unit on patterning and are moving on to double digit addition and subtraction. The standard algorithm of borrowing and regrouping will be used but focus will also be placed on students using other strategies to add and subtract larger numbers (using an open number line and using friendly numbers by example).
In language, we continue to practice making super sentences. Try to get your child to explain what is a super sentence. We are also beginning a light study on procedural writing.
In Science, we continue to explore air and water in our environment, in particular how we impact the quality of our air and water and what consequences this might lead to.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It hIs hard to believe that we are only three weeks away from the March Break. Last week was a crazy week with both family day as well as two snow days. Thankfully we were able to get all caught up on Thursday and Friday.
This week marks our four week of sacrament preparation. Your child's reconciliation prep book will come home at some point this sweet so students can get caught up on what might still be incomplete. Please note that even though your child may not be receiving their sacrament of first reconciliation, their participating in the preparation is mandatory as it is part of our grade 2 religion program. For those of you whose are receiving their first reconciliation, a reminder of the rite of enrolled end masses that are to take place next weekend (February 27-28). You only need to attend one of these masses (Saturday at 5 or Sunday at 9 or 11). Reconciliation is scheduled for March 9th at 6:30pm at St.Patrick Church.

How the weeks are flying by. So much going on in the days/weeks to come! Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and students will be grouping together in the gym second block for our Ash Wednesday liturgy. Ash Wednesday coincides with our Reconciliation preparation we began last week. Despite if your child will be receiving their sacraments this year, everyone will be completing all the preparation tasks as this is also a component of our grade 2 religion program.
A thank you to all those who have returned their sacraments information form. For those of you who have yet to return their form, please do as soon as possible. The church needs these forms in order to prepare for upcoming sacrament dates. A question that a number of parents have had concerns the enrollment masses the weekend of february 27-28. You only need to attend one of the three possible mass times.
Last week, students sold their bookmarks as part of our npdl Joy project. They worked so hard on their creations and as a result, the demand from St. Anne students was high. As a grade 2 whole, students raised over $600!!! We are so proud of our students! Stay tuned to hear how students have decided to spread 'Joy' with their fundraised money.
In Math, students are wrapping up their patterning unit and will begin exploring two digit addition and subtraction. Although the standard algorithm will be used, students will also be encouraged to explore other ways to use mental math strategies to complete the same task (ie. using friendly numbers, open number lines...).
In language, we will be starting our unit on procedural writing.
In science, students continue to explore air and water in the environment. Ask your child about our bean experiment that we will be starting on Thursday.
A reminder to please bring in a shoe box or empty kleenex box for our valentine's craft.
For those of you who are interested in giving out Valentine cards, here is a list of students in our class...
