Mrs. Simmy Brar - Grade 2

Today we had the privilege of watching a presentation by the Earth Rangers. They discussed animals from the Boreal Forests and Prairies/Grasslands and some challenges they are currently faces. We are so lucky that they shared some animals with us. Please look below for some pictures and videos of what we saw!

After viewing the presentation we did a Sketch and Stretch. This is a comprehension strategy where students are given time to draw/sketch and write some of the things they remember or learned. Here are some examples.

• Library Book Exchange is each Tuesday
• Read on Raz-Kids or home-reading

• Oct 28 - Pumpkin Give away tomorrow at Sobey's (see previous blog posts)
• Oct 31st Happy Halloween (We will be having a Halloween parade of costumes through the classrooms in the afternoon. If your child chooses to bring their Halloween costume to school – please make it one that they can change into without a lot of adult support. If you would like to send an extra treat along with your child for the afternoon – please make it a healthy one.)
