Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a relaxing, enjoyable March Break.  
There is a lot happening in our classroom this week.  In writing, the students are starting a new narrative in which they chose the topic.  They have written their plans and introductions, and so far they look great!  In math, the grade 2's are learning how to subtract 2-digit numbers with regrouping.  The grade 3's are finishing their geometry unit, in which they learned about congruent shapes, symmetry, angles, translations, reflections and turns.  In social studies, the grade 2's are starting a unit in which we will compare a warm climate (Zimbabwe) to a cold climate (Nunavut).  The grade 3's will be studying Ontario with a focus on land uses.  In science, we are starting a unit on matter.  We will be investigating the properties of liquids and solids.
