What does PEACE feel like, look like, sound like?

OCTOBER FLASH!

Time flies when you're having fun!  In 2J we have fun working, learning and playing together EVERYDAY!  The sunshine and warm breezes have called us outdoors on more than one occasion, making wind observations, sketching Linden Meadows, and collecting data about the community of Linden Woods. The outdoors, as always, makes a magnificent classroom!

 

Here are some of the targets we have been working on.

 

Reading Targets 

*I get started right away, stay in one place, read quietly, read the whole time,

increase my reading stamina, and read a good fit book! 

*I check for understanding

*I cross check...   Does it look right?  Does it sound right?  Does that make sense?

 

Math Targets

*I can count from 0-100 by 2'S, 5'S and 10's forwards and backwards

starting from any multiple of 2, 5, and when counting 10s from any number.

WE'RE OFF WITH A HOP!

Welcome to our 2J classroom blog!  We're off to a fabulous start to the new school year.  We have 18 amazing Grade 2 students in our classroom, one enthusiastic first year university teaching candidate, Mr. Popel, and one very excited teacher, myself, Ms. Jordan.  What a team!  Our classroom blog is designed to celebrate student learning as well as keeping you informed of targets, important dates, birthdays, etc.,  I will email everyone when there is an update, however, students are invited to visit the blog frequently and check out some of the math and language arts interactive learning games on Ms. Jordan's wiki.  Can't wait to see you and your child at Wednesday's Open House from 5:30-6:30 p.m.  See you then!

Let's Celebrate!!!

What a fabulous year it has been from beginning to end!  I would like to take a moment to thank our many volunteers in class, on field trips, preparing Super lunch and holiday treats, as well as our at home volunteers.  You! Yes, you have made a difference.   Thank you also to all our parents, for your at home support.  I would also like to thank our fabulous Mrs. Regehr and Mrs. Sinclair for their wonderful presence and support in our classroom this year!  It has been much appreciated! As always, I couldn't do it without you!!  Thank you, for your many kind words, cards and gifts this past week.
