The Grade 2 class started their first novel study, The Enormous Crocodile. The focus lesson this week was using prior knowledge about a subject to make predictions about what will happen in a book.
After reading the first couple of pages, we are super excited to see what funny and wacky antics the Enormous Crocodile will get into!

The grade 1 and 2 students enjoyed playing a new reading game, Sight Word Bean Bag Toss. They enjoyed making the game more challenging physically by moving the start line further back, and challenging their minds by adding increasingly difficult words to the game.
The Grade 2 students have begun to set up their writer's notebooks for the year. Inspired by books that we have read over the last couple of weeks, we decorated our hearts with images and words about things that are special to each of us. We know that authors gain inspiration from personal experiences, and good writers write about things that are meaningful and close to their hearts. Now that we have filled our hearts with inspiration, we will always have ideas in our notebooks to help us with our writing.
