My Project

We are hoping to bring our creative and researched writing projects to life in our classroom with a color printer. We could design our own cover art and create our own displays of our work. We are hoping to practice our math skills with LCD boards to model our strategies, and practice reading with new decodable texts.

We hope to achieve all our own learning goals in ELA and Math this year.

We also hope to be the best Grade 2 classroom ever! We all have different strengths and talents and want to learn and support each other to be the best we can be.

We are special because we can do anything we set our minds too...including maybe performing an original show of our learning later this year!
