POI
This week Grade 2 continued with our exploration of different jobs and their connected workplaces. First we listed to some examples of job riddles and tried to guess the profession being described. After reviewing the format for a short riddle such as rhyming in the second and forth lines, Grade 2 undertook the challenge of writing their own. During the writing process, each student had to think about such themes as qualities and tasks completed on the job. Professions chosen included, teacher, artist, police officer, banker, actress and even a lighthouse keeper!

Assembly
On Monday March 26 (time TBA) Grade 2 will be hosting an assembly for the rest of the PYP program. This will be an opportunity for the class to share the POI work they have been doing this month and practice presenting in front of a larger audience. Grade 2 will also be showcasing our musical talent! We will be singing “People Work”, a song about various jobs with some clever rhyming and “Donny the Dog Walker”, a song about one man’s very unusual job from our multiplication unit. We have also started making some visual aids for the second song. Below is a link to “People Work” - I highly encourage some at home practice.

Usborne publishes the “First Reading” series - the hardcover chapter books that many of you are familiar with as they are very popular with Grade 2. A brochure with further information will be sent home shortly.
