Curriculum Goals

October 2015

Language Arts
In Writing we are working on being able to identify and choose a good topic that we will be able to expand and that is interesting to our readers. Using a beginning, middle and end are also a focus during our Writing Workshop.
Being able to retell a story and make predictions about the story are the focus in Reading Workshops.
Speaking and Listening continues to focus on using social conventions while communicating.
Math
In Numbers we continue to learn our partners to 10, and counting forwards and backwards from different starting points.
Patterns has us working on understanding a repeating pattern. Students are working on recognizing, describing, extending, comparing and creating patterns that have 3 to 5 elements.
In the Shape and Space strand continues to be focused on days of the week and months of the year.
You and Your World
Change is the theme of the Grade 2 You and Your World Curriculum. We continue to focus on the Growth & Development unit. We talk about the lifecycle of different living organisms including humans.

Thank you so much for taking the time over the long weekend to help Tom the Turkey get in disguise. We have seen many creative ideas and more than that your children have had a lot to talk about.
Each of the turkeys has been presented by its creator to the class. There have been stories of how the turkeys came to be disguised in such ways and about how families really got involved. We have had as much fun listening to turkey stories as you had creating them!
We hope that you enjoyed this activity with your child. If you have yet to complete a turkey you may do so at anytime and send them in.

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.
