Today Grade 2 students completed their January reading assessments.  I am incredibly proud of how far they have come.  The best way to become a voracious reader is to practice reading a lot!  The more we practice, the more accurate we become and the better we are able to comprehend.  Students are encouraged to read for 15 minutes every night and to use the retelling rope to retell the main ideas in the story.  

In Science, the Grade 2s continued their exploration of magnetism.  They discovered that the magnetic force was able to pass through all of the materials on their list.  

In Gym this month, students are exploring movement through the Gymnastics unit.  It is entertaining to watch the cautious locomotion, balances and jumps.  

Tasty Tuesday was FISHY today - students made Cereal Sushi!  Thank you to Ms. Shah for donating the ingredients for this fun activity.
