June 22 - 25 : Level 2 - Suggested Activities
You made it! This is the last week of grade two for our students. It
has been unusual, but we have both loved every minute of working
with your kids this year! Have an amazing summer!
The website and videos on youtube will remain up (with the exception of
Bob... which needs to come down at the end of June due to copyright issues),
so if you want to review or finish up some of the things you didn't get to...
they will be there for you!
* If your child is attending school this week we will work on these activities at school.
Please see agenda page at end of Tuesday showing what they have finished, and
what they could still work on at home for the rest of the week.
If you did not finish last weeks suggested activities, please do those first.
This week's activities assume that you already have the skills from last week.

We will have the opportunity to zoom in on a carving session with Mr. Newman
and Tejas this Thursday at 10:30 - 10:45 AM. (A Zoom invite will come in an email)
Reading

Writing
1. This week we will continue with the Social Studies/Writing project.
a. Look at the links for the assignment:
Nunavut - Instructions and Links
If you have access to a printer, please print the sheet out for your
child to fill in. If not, please just write it on a paper for them.
(I tried to keep it fairly basic)
* Make sure you watch the Nunavut video. It is amazing!
b. If your child finishes this activity. Please take a photo of both sides
of the paper and email it to your child’s teacher
2. Please have your child fill in the reflection sheet about their grade two
year. This is different than the one we sent two weeks ago. We would love
to see a copy of it after it is finished. Click on the link below:
My Grade Two Year
3. Encourage your child to continue writing to us. We love hearing about
what they are doing!
* Some students are writing emails to us, and others are writing on paper
and their parents are taking a photo of it and emailing it to us.
You do what works for you.
4. If your child still has time for creative writing, have them keep up with our
daily write. This is where they can write anything they want. Please send us
photos of their writing!

Math
1. Finish one copy of the “All the Facts” math sheet we put in your packages.
*ONLY ONE - we included 12 sheets to cover multiple weeks! ONE PER WEEK!
Please mark this for your child. If they get it wrong circle it, and if the number is
reversed underline it. Then have them make the corrections.
This may seem easy for your child... this is a GOOD THING! These are all the
facts they need to know to do more difficult math. It is important to do this weekly
to keep the facts fresh in their heads.
2. We have made the final youtube videos of us teaching math this week.
The videos, build on previous skills. If you haven't watched the others
please watch them first.
Because we have so many videos now, I have gone back and put numbers
on them to keep them in order. If you are behind and are catching up, I hope
this makes it easier to know what to do next.
If you choose to do this activity please do the following:
Watch “Math #37 - Math - Adding and Subtracting Strategies - Lesson"
Math #37 - Adding and Subtracting Strategies - Lesson
At the end there are questions for your child to do on their own.
Watch “Math #38 - Adding and Subtracting Strategies - Answers"

Your child can check their work here.
* If possible take a picture of your child’s “on your own” questions and email
them to your teacher.
