Learning How to Count With Coins

Hi Parents and Students.

As you know, this week we have been learning how to count using coins. I have included a website that you can visit where you can continue to learn how to count with coins at home.

A Mother's Day Wishing

Mothers are the place where love
Emerges from the earth,
And happiness rings out like bells
In honor of our birth.
Mothers are the sun that lights
For life our inner sky,
So we may know that we are loved
And need not question why.
Mothers are the moon that shines
Upon our black despair,
So even when we weep, we know
That someone's always there.
Wishing all mothers a wonderful Mother's Day.

Journal Writing Topic

Grade two students,
What am I?

I am round and I am small,

but i'm not a ball at all.

I am bright and I am sweet,

my inside is what you eat.

My outside you throw away.

What fruit am I? Can you say?

As a journal entry, write down which fruit you think it is and prove your answer with words that are used in the poem. Also in a few sentences tell me if you like or dislike this fruit and why?

Math- Learning about Polygons

Dear Parents/ Guardians:

Polygons have different names depending on the number of sides they have. Encourage your child to talk about the number of sides each polygon has on the examples provided on your top left corner of this message.

In grade two, we continue to learn about symmetry. As part of your math homework you are asked to look for eight things that are symmetrical then draw and label them in your math homework. Remember to draw the lines of symmetry on every thing that you use!

This assignment is due on Friday May 7, 2010.

Things to Do this Easter Weekend in Toronto

Hooray!! It's a long weekend with nice weather on the way and plenty of fun things to do. Friday is a holiday, but many Toronto attractions are still open, like the ROM and the Ontario Science Center, so take advantage of the day off and explore what's new. Easter Sunday is the main event and there are egg hunts, activities and more happening all over the city. Find eggs and eat them too this weekend.
Visit some websites that I have provided for more information about the events taking place this long holiday weekend!

Happy Easter

The Easter feeling does not end.
It signals a new beginning,
Of nature, spring, and brand new life,
And friendship, peace, and giving.
The spirit of Easter is all about
Hope, love, and joyful living.

Wishing Everyone a Happy Easter!
Try not to eat too many chocolates kids =)
