Semester Two
Welcome back! I hope you all had an enjoyable break. The students were very happy to be back at school today and told some fabulous holiday stories.
We welcomed two new students to our class, Tashi and Hailey. They were made very welcome and settled in well.
Please find some important information and dates for this semester below.
Homework:
The ISPP homework policy states that in Grade 2 students will complete 20-30 minutes of homework 4 nights a week. This includes reading time. All Grade 2 classes send the same homework out each week and we really encourage nightly reading. We try to make the homework unit of inquiry focused. If you have any difficulties with completing homework please let me know.
Timetable:
The timetable is still the same as first semester and can be found here.
Unit of Inquiry:
We are at the completion of our third unit of inquiry. Next week we will begin Where we are in Place and Time. This unit is focusing on artifacts and how we can learn about the past from them. More information will be given on the blog in the next week.
