Jobs!

Grade 2 spent the beginning of the week completing the art component of our Heidi setting descriptions and final unit project.  First each student was given a picture of Heidi to colour in and then used water colours to illustrate each setting using their text as reference.  Once the water colours were dry, Grade 2 was given the choice of where to glue their Heidi - the Swiss Alps or Frankfurt.  Every student choose to place their Heidi cutout in the Swiss Alps, the setting she was most happy in at the conclusion of the story and rightfully so!  We are also lucky to live and learn in an environment filled with beautiful mountains, lakes, and trees.

Later in the week, we began our new POI, titled Workplaces.  We will use the rest of the month to inquire into the various jobs people do and their roles, responsibilities, etc.  To begin our new POI and input useful vocabulary, Grade 2 completed a group challenge asking them to name various jobs based on small pictures.  There was everything from a banker to a dentist to an architect.

A Call for Parent Volunteers

Our current POI presents a wonderful opportunity for you as parents to share an important aspect of your daily life with the class - your job.  If you would like to visit Grade 2 and share about what you do please contact me either via email or simply drop by the classroom.  We would love to have visitors! 

Kind regards,

Ms. Christine Aberley
