Another academic year has arrived and with it comes the excitement of welcoming last year’s brilliant first graders to their second year of elementary school. We have four second grade classes this year: 2E are stomping elephants, 2A are hooting owls, 2I are roaring tigers, and 2S are gentle giraffes.

We also gave our students a multiple intelligence test to learn more about their learning styles and interests, to help us cater to their interests! We will provide you with feedback during open house.

We had a great week of getting to know each other, making new friends, and finding out what it’s like to finally be the BIG kids in the playground.

We have plenty of fun up ahead next week, including our Eid celebrations and more grownup second grade activities!

Have a grrrreat weekend, everyone!

Welcome to Grade 2!

You are pretty familiar with your TV, maybe too familiar! The TV is mostly an output machine or

device. This means that the information flows from the TV out to you. So output is the flow of information to you and input is the flow from you to the device.

Computers are the same they have: 1- Parts to receive input, 2- Parts to give output, and

3- Parts to do work.

Please don’t forget to bring your file divided into 3 parts: Projects, Class work, Homework .

This week we started a short introduction about what character Building is, and introduced the 6 pillars “Trustworthiness, Respect, Fairness’, Caring, Responsibility and Citizenship”.

This coming week, we will continue to discuss the importance of these pillars in forming our characters.

Welcome to Grade 2

I’m Mrs. Soha, Math teacher. I was glad to meet all of the kids. We had fun doing our ice breaker activity to get to know more about the kids.

We have talked about the kids' nicknames and favorite kinds of food to encourage them to talk. We also went through our class rules.

Next week, we are going to start some lessons.

Enjoy your weekend. Dr. Soha Al Sharkawy

Drama is a new subject added under Language Arts this year. Drama is a unique tool to explore and express human feeling.

Drama assists in the development of:

the use of imagination

powers of creative self expression

decision making and problem solving skills

and understanding of self and the world

self confidence, a sense of worth and respect and consideration for others.

Last week was just an introduction to drama, and as we will continue to learn more about drama next week!
