What's New in Grade 2! - February 2
Kisuk Kyukyit! Our grade 2s have been working really hard on our weekly artist study projects throughout January, so I wanted to start by featuring their wonderful art inspired by Monet, Seurat, Van Gogh and Kardinsky.
Impressionist art inspired by Claude Monet's "Japanese Bridge" Inspired by Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" and the story about his life, "Camille and the Sunflower". Pointillism a la Georges Seurat! Fresh abstract art inspired by Wassily Kardinsky as read in "The Noisy Paintbox"
Other highlights over the past few weeks have been:
All the dinosaur themed Read Well stories! We've learned about dinosaur facts, dinosaur fossil digs and a fun story about a dog detective on the hunt for a missing dinosaur skeleton.
Our Chemical and Physical Changes unit and Science took on a theme this week.... Pancakes! We studied what parts of making pancakes are physical and chemical changes and then we made our own pancakes as a class treat.
We did our first research on Climate Zones in Social Studies, and we rose to the challenge!
We have started a new "Number of the Day" routine in Math to hone our number sense and familiarity with two and three digit numbers.
