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:

Our grade two class have been learning about polygons in math. Polygons are described as closed shapes with only straight sides. 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.
