Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to lead our Mini Academies on Friday. The children had
so much fun and came back to the classroom excited to show their friends what they made or what they
did. It’s hard to believe that this was our last Mini Academies for the year. The Mini Academies have
been a huge success because of your commitment and dedication. Thank you for your creativity, your
time, and your willingness to volunteer for our Mini Academies throughout the year. This is an event
that the kids love and and we couldn’t do it without your help. Thank you!

On May 11th the Grade 2 classes will take a field trip to visit the Butterfly and Bird Parks as part of our
science unit on life cycles. A permission slip was sent home last week. Please return the permission
slip by Friday, April 27 to help us with planning. We are looking for parent volunteers to chaperone,
so if you are interested, please indicate on the permission slip.

Language Arts
This week, students looked at character relationships between the main character and supporting
characters. From the dynamics of the relationships, readers could gauge the character traits and how
each character is different and the same throughout the series.
Letter writing continued with writing a letter about another of their favorite series book. Students used
the first letter that they have written, their popplet planning and chart around the room to guide them
to write their second letter.
Math
In math we revisited arrays and looked at rows and columns. Students built arrays with partners and
practiced their repeated addition sentences. Students looked at making arrays with odd and even
numbers.
Social Studies
We ended our social studies unit on celebration this week. Students planned their celebration on
popplet and listed down the elements of their celebration. When they finished, they share their
celebration with the class. So far only 2 students have shared their celebration with the item that they
brought/emailed from home. Please send an item that your child can share with the class when they
share their celebration.
Important Dates
Monday 23rd April - Swimming and Library
Friday 27th April - Field trip permission slip due
Dinner Questions
