Écriture/New Writing Books

 

 

As part of the Grade Two Curriculum, the Grade 2's have begun their first exercises in writing.  I will be sending home their writing books for you to read with your child. Please ask your child to read their first two entries.  One of the entries has been translated for easy understanding.

Nos Enquêtes: Découvertes du Monde/Inquiry Based Learning: World Discoveries

As part of our inquiry based learning in Social Studies, the Grade 2 students have been learning about the different cultures at St. Rita School.

A couple of weeks ago, some students were chosen to do a mini presentation in one of the 14 classes at our school and as a Grade, we performed a survey of the different countries from which our students' families originated from. 

During the next process of our inquiry, the students have begun used the IPADS to locate some of these countries on "Google Maps" and identifying the continent from which they are found.

This was a very exciting and enjoyable learning experience for our class. Here are some pictures of our class hard at work.
