Highlights
During Language Arts we are learning how to take jot notes.  We will be using this skill later when we start an animal research project.  In Math we are working on subtraction strategies.  If you know your addition doubles then this helps with subtraction (e.g., 4+4=8, so 8-4=4).  This afternoon we read a story about an Inukshuk.  After that we completed a clay project with another grade 2 class.

Important Information 
On Friday morning we will be going snowshoeing in the field!  Please make sure your child brings winter boots, snow pants, mittens/gloves, hat, etc.  An extra pair of dry socks may also be handy.  The school has snowshoes for each student.

Important Dates
Thurs, Jan. 25- Report cards go home; Kindergarten, Grade 1&2 Movie night

Homework
-New reading logs were given to students.  Ms. Bain will be checking these each day to see who is reading at home….
-Continue to review spelling words (if you need a new spelling list, just let me know).  Students will be quizzed on their words at the end of January.
-Students can go to www.coolmath.com to practice addition and subtraction

Ask me about:
What did we make out of clay?
